First let me state that the Trigos are brand new, from their new (1.5 - 2 years old) tooling. These may vary from previous Trigos.
My Halibrands are either from the 2000ish or 1990ish run, I'm not sure. They have the same color as Chas'. (BTW Chas, the backs on mine are machined too, they just don't have that freshly machined look yours do ).
Also, my bath scale is digital but certainly not certified. What matters here is their relative weight.

And the envelope, please....

Trigos:
Front: 19.4 lbs
Rear: 20 lbs (very surprised by that tiny difference. I did it 3 times)
Total: 78.8 lbs

Halibrands:
Front: 16.2 lbs
Rear: 18 lbs
Total: 68.4 lbs

For a total difference of....
10.4 lbs of unsprung weight, or (Rodknock, Chas, are you ready for this?)...
EXACTLY 1.0 extra roll bars (padding included).
