Density is within the strain to a certain point.
You have to grow it well to be dense to begin with, but the genetics decide what type of bud formation.
Trimming can be easier, depending on the leaf/calyx ratio, but yeah, the denser the buds essentially the less trimming per pound, because it's fewer buds and space.
For example, a quarter pound of blueberry is a half full gallon ziplock... A quarter pound of the 9Mile is a gallon ziplock stuffed full.
So, as far as bag appeal for buyers, and users, the fluffy stuff is a better seller.
I find that fluffy or dense they burn about the same, I always thouroughly chop up my buds before smoking with a pair of Fiskers Microtip scissors. The dense nugs look like they break up into more weed, while the fluffy buds loose size...but... I have noticed fluffy strains burning up in joints like a firecracker, while dense weed burns slower and longer.
Indica heavy strains are usually dense... And some sativa hybrids are also dense... Some really dense strains I've grown are; Bubblegum, Hash Plant, White Rhino, Candy, Blueberry,(honorable mention)- Sensi Star, Silver Pearl.

The Super Skunk is finally starting to have ambering pistols, and it's starting to really chunk up...
I'll take some pics tonight when the light are on, and load them up tomorrow.
I'll take a few pictures of the dried Blueberry and 9Mile...
