All else being equal, in general are disposable motors in the E-G class lighter than their reloadable counterparts (grains, liners, and cases)?

according to my well thumbed AT catalog an F50 weighs in at 90g, the F52 @ 123g. the G80 comes in @ 128g, the G64 @ 150g. so it would seem that the RMS motors are heavier than the SU motors.

Thank you Rex. I wasn't sure if the catalog weights that were given as "loaded weight" for RMS included the hardware, or just all the other "stuff" that comes in the reload...but now I realize that if i had done some math that the loaded weights are about 3x the propellant-only weights, so I should have been able to realize that smoke, ejection, orings, etc probably do not weigh more than the propellant, and that it included the reusable motor case. It was too late in the evening and I was lazy, as well as brain-dead. Thanks again.
 
I find that 'late in the evening' is getting earlier as time goes by :).
