Does anybody know the difference in weight between the standard shell and the lightweight shell?

I think it's roughly 25g

Thanks that will do me. I ordered a stnd and lightweight shell from a new paint supplier (for me) and apart from only receiving one wing there is only 2gm different in weight

There does not seem to be any marking on the shell to tell you which one you have but as I am still making 1350gm I assume I have two stnd shells

Certainly sounds like they're the same.

I find if you hold the body upside down and 'ping' the sides between the wheel arches, you should easily feel the difference in the stiffness of the sides.

A lightweight shell has less traction rolling and quicker initial response compared to a regular weight.
