do you have the actual weight of each to hand? that sounds dubious to me. i've ridden both and the plug felt a shitload heavier to me.
I own a Bianchi Pista, and a mate from a bike shop have a Charge Plug without a rear brake and brake levels (granted they're not *that *heavy).
Charge Plug is about 10.5kg, Bianchi Pista 9.6 kg, considering the Pista hasn't even got any brake on, and it doesn't seemed noticable.
