If there was any flex/bending load on them they would've failed by now (there is'nt, so they don't by the way) I have a feeling they will be similar in weight, I'd be suprised if the difference was huge. I would guess that the Baker ones would be slightly lighter, but don't quote me on that. I can assure you the Baker ones do rust, the passivate finish is very thin and does corrode, however it won't affect them in the slightest unless you parked your car in the sea every day. Of course the ally blocks wont rust though. Mine are treated inside and out with rust killer before painting which seems to work well enough, can't say what length others go to to prevent corrosion in theirs though.
