The relatively small difference in mass wouldn't be as significant as the much larger difference in velocity, with respect to the forces generated. But I do agree with you. I don't want my bell getting rung in either sport! Better to be a little over-protected than a little under-protected.
I've had a few guys I work softball with rag on me about the "overkill" of using a Wilson Platinum chest protector. But it's lightweight, comfortable and could damn near stop a bullet. I'll take the little bit of extra padding and bulk over a busted collarbone anyday!
