The Champro beats the Diamond by a mere 1/2 ounce. The Wilson titanium weighs just a couple of ounces more, but costs over two times as much.
The pads on the Champro and Diamond are kind of on the wimpy side- just barely adequate.
I'm in the market for new mask too and have been looking at all of these (plus reading many reviews from other umpires). Here's what I'm probably going to wind up getting...
Ump-attire sells the Diamond frame alone, without the pads. I'm thinking that I'll go with that frame, then buy a set of beefier pads, either the Wilson leather pads or the new Team Wendy's. With the heavier pads, the total mask will weigh a little more, but with such a light frame the difference will be negligible, while the comfort and protection should be superior.
