Default Pedal weight

Is there anywhere to find pedal weights. I have Look 296 pedals which are kinda bricks and I see the Keos are 95g each. I'm anxious to see how much the 296 weigh to see the savings. 453g being a pound it might be worth the upgrade. I contacted Look but if you know...

No 296 but maybe something close

be careful buying featherweight pedals, unless you're featherweight yourself, because, for eg, some of the LOOKS with ti axles have been known to break. At least try to stick to steel axles.

My Ultegras are 306g. I think some of the Look Keos are around 270g...??

You have to count the adapters on the bottom of your shoes when buying Speedplays. Check the total weights they list on their sites because it adds up.
