Versatility Xdeep zen/ghost

Does adding weight pockets and puch add much weight? I'm thinking of buying the ghost deluxe.

I got my deluxe with the weight pouch already installed, but I don't think their inclusion adds anything significant.
I would think the same would apply to the pouch. However, I don't have the xdeep utility pouch for backmount, which I only discovered existed this week. I have a dive rite which isn't heavy. I just ordered the xdeep version though, since it's designed to work with their weight pouch.

Though it is not well published, you can get a Ghost backplate and use the Zen wing for what they call a Zen ultra light configuration.

Which is what I did…when traveling I move my Zen wing to my Ghost plate. And when I’m local and diving cold I use the Zen stainless steel plate.

That's a very handy tip to know for the future.

Is your zen plate aluminum or steel?
What's the weight saving?

Steel.

Though I ended up not liking the harness layout of the ghost plate so it sits on the shelf now and I got a standard DGX aluminum plate instead.
