9.5 = 93 lbs. (9.2 = 91 lbs.)

Difference = 120-93 = 27 lbs.

I'll betcha most of us around here carry 27 extra lbs of fat on their bodies that, if lost, would make that difference negligible.
No, it would still be 27 pounds, BB guys go on a diet, then the SM block guys go on a diet - we ain't giving you nutt'in

For this debate to really quantify weight difference, need to hang both crate motors from a hydra set, the block is not the only discriminator here.
