Such a minor point but what the heck... that's 50% more weight... since the extra 1/16" is equal to 50% of the original 1/8" thickness. You're adding an extra 50%, or half again of what the weight is of the 1/8" product. Now if you were to go from 3/16" back to 1/8, then you'd be cutting the corner guard's weight by 1/3.
The issue with weight isn't so much with a single component by itself, it's staying with a trend of not going extra-heavy as a rule.
