weight for Fuji SK2 split reel seats

I normally use Castaway reel seats skeletonized (split) on my rods and they (reel seat) end up weighing around .75 oz. I’m thinking of trying Fuji’s SK2 split grip. Can anyone tell me what the weight is for the SKTPSM (16mm) or the SKTS (nylon hood)(16mm)?

Thanks Eric. Lighter than I thought. Wonder if the standard lock nut is lighter or heavier than the nylon hooded locking nut?
