My two cents: When you change from a BCD to a BP/W you can take 3 lbs of lead off for the BCD padding and 6 lbs of lead off for the SS BP, for a total of 9 lbs.

Go from an AL80 to a steel HP100 and you can take off another 6 lbs of lead.

Assuming everything else was the same, I don't know why you found that you had a 12 lb. difference. Could be the full tank/empty tank difference that Spectrum is talking about.
