Hi Robert,
The plate on the Seg is 1.55mm thick (its a Newstead type). In terms of thickness and accuracy I'm not too sure, as I didn't do my own research (Matt did). A plate thickness of 1mm would drop the weight down to around 13 pounds according to my math, making both armors about the same weight. I'm sure Mike Bishop could provide some good estimation of the thickness of the surviving plates on Segs to give us an idea of the weight.
