It looks heavy, but it's really not much heavier than a built-up.
I have davidlpope's built up cantle here that I'm putting a new bag on. His comes in at ~12oz, my cast version is ~14oz before additional grinding.
I need to take a few .001ths of an inch off the outer faces yet, and the inside has a fair bit of grinding.
The knobs will add a bit of weight, but not too much.
I'll reweigh everything after I get a final grind.
The big bonus of the cast version is it will NEVER break. No long joins to come apart. Nothing to twist out of alignment.
