I would like to use more whole wheat flour in baking bread, but I have not been very successful. After reading this I tried mixing white whole wheat and KAF bread flour, and was pleased with the results. Like reader Amy P I also weigh my flour, so I was surprised when you said whole wheat weighs only 4 oz per cup. I did a little experiment and found that sifted AP flour was 4 oz per cup; not sifted, but slightly fluffed AP weighed 4.5 oz; white whole wheat and Organic bread flour came in at 4.75 oz per cup. I verified the accuracy of my electronic scale with known weights so I'm curious how the weight of flour in your kitchen can be that different from mine.
