Does anyone know the difference in weight between the plastic and metal monster fuel tanks?

The metal one Skids lent me to post to Numbnuts in Scotland was around 7.5kg

I remember reading that the plastic tanks are heavier.

I was also told by 2 or 3 people that the plastic ones were about 1kg heavier, but I haven't weighed one.

The plastic ones way 1-2+ maybe more kg than the metal ones, that was one of the main reasons that we put a 748/916 one on Otie's bike.
