The KTS might be 4 or 5 ounces heavier, but you will love them!  They are NOT
technical 'mountaineering' or 'ice' crampons...
They work very well with trail runners or running shoes, too - the heel/toe
extender bar flexes just enough to be more comfortable while walking than 
mountaineering crampons meant to be worn with stiff boots...
See <http://www.kahtoola.com/crampons.php> for more about the KTS...
Your trail companions will be envious!  "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth."
:o)

Happy trails!!!
