: That sounds backwards to me, based on what I've seen. I'll dig up
: some of the Bomar deck plates I have and weigh them. I don't
: think I have any Becksons handy.

It's funny but I was going to put a little caveat on my last psoting saying that "I know this may sound backwards . . . " Anyway, I found the weights on Amazon (not the most reliable for determining weight) but Dan's numbers are as stated in his posting.

Bomar - http://www.amazon.com/DECK-PLATE-LOCKING-STARK-WHITE/dp/B000FP0578

Beckson: http://www.amazon.com/Beckson-8-Inch-Beige-Deck-Plate/dp/B0000AY0DR

I'll be looking at a set of Bomars tomorrow so I'll at least get a chance to see them "in real life", so to speak.

Cheers,
Sean
