Regarding weight.

The Sweet was typically 10 oz lighter than the standard. Plain barrels weigh 3-4 oz less than vent ribs.

My plain barrelled '51 sweet weighs in at 6 lb 8 oz, which makes for a really nice handling gun for an autoloader.

I shoot 7/8 oz mostly but it handles up to 1 1/8 oz like a champ if I'm shooting big late season Canadas.
