The weight added could be a secondary effect and not a decision maker in upgrading my diff. I just wanted to know how big that difference was. I have to keep the power planted after all.

Cool, that said and what has been said the difference is negligible. Even if it heavier the extra weight in the back and down low would be a positive gain. Wavetrac is an outstanding rear diff and will do what you want. I ran one in my Z and have it on the shelf a back up. What is funny about the Wavetrac is that it never overheated on the track but I got it to puke fluid on the tail of the Dragon.
