The problem, as I see it, is the mixing of "weights" and "actual feels". Weighing off an action on the bench gives a static weight. Actual feel is dynamic. The dynamic allows the concept of "work" into the mix. If I recall correctly, work is mass x distance. If you delay the damper lift, less work is done since the mass is moved a shorter distance. Since less work is done, the feel is lighter. A note statically weighed off to 52gm which has a key with 7 lead weights will require more work to be done than one which has three weights and a wippen assist spring. (greater mass through the same distance) This is exaggerated as the force is increased by increasing the speed and introducing time into the equation turning it into "power". [mass x distance/time.] This may be simplistic, but it's how I conceptualise it.
