Just curious. With these results, what percentage heavier is the old Seville lid than the new performer lid? Got to be some engineers or math wizards here. I certainly am not. I have to find a method to weigh and compare my 26" lids.

Not an engineer, but I believe 8% heavier.

I should have said this, the DA lid and the new performer lid have Brian's handles and tabs on them. The AA has the plastic handle on it and the Seville has the original wood handle. It's probably no more than an ounce difference but it should be stated.

I was farting around with 93 and 96 performer lids and while they felt about the same weight-wise, their shape was different enough to see relatively easily. (I searched here, found this old thread, and figured it was near-topic enough).

Acknowledging the reflection difference, it seems like the lid on the left has a higher rise and a wider rim lip. Or is it just my imagination running away with me?

The older one might have been spun, rather than stamped.
