pretty big difference of 255g per side, explains why it feels different. just the shoes and cleats are 346g heavier per pair. the fiveTens are definitely not quite as heavy as i thought, nor are the s-works exos as light as claimed (or the speedplay cleats are much heavier!)
I can't say I notice pedal weight as it's completely lost in the noise of the very different types of bike I'm riding with these different shoe/pedal combos. FWIW I have CB Stamp 7 pedals on my full-suss mtb and Shimano DuraAce pedals on my road bike. I would be more likely to notice the shoe weight while walking around off the bike, but can't say I do in reality. My FiveTen Pros are a fairly bulky shoe, but still reasonably light.
It's horses for courses. I love both these setups in their respective environments and IMHO they are both way better than regular trainers/sneakers, hiking boots, flip-flops or whatever else people choose to ride in!
