Is Pettit's 8.5 lb flywheel the same as RB's 9.5 lb flywheel?

I ordered the act clutch/RB 9.5 lb flywheel combo sometime last week from rx7trix (great guys, really. I've ordered almost all of my stuff from them). The problem is that RB is slacking on sending me (or them) the flywheel. Since rx7trix told me that they had this part in stock, they said that they might be able to replace it with a Pettit flywheel (8.5 lbs w/out the couterweight). My car is a daily driver and I'm worried that a 8.5 lb flywheel might be too light. On the other hand, I know that these weights are not exact and the 8.5 lb Pettit flywheel might be the same weight as the 9.5 lb RB flywheel. Does anybody know? I really like Pettits products (not their prices), so I'm sure it's good quality, I'm just wondering if its the same wheel as Racing Beats, and if its not, is it too lght?

Pettit's flywheel most likely isn't made by them - it's some other product re-branded .

Anyhow, I don't think you'd notice the difference between the two - go ahead and get it. You'll really enjoy it!
