The 7.5 ft RW rods are light as a feather and the nicer of the two rods as it comes with the cork handle. The 10 ft rod is pretty light as well. Not sure how it compares to the BnM Sam Heaton rod. I have held them both but not at the same time. It would be nice to have them both in my hands at the same time to make a comparison of the two's weight. But I would predict that they both are very light weight and easy on the hands. If you fish all day long for 8 hours you can tell if the rod is too heavy or just right.
I do know that the BnM 12 ft long Graphite Jig Pole is heavier than the 10ft long Richard Williams rods. But the Sam Heaton 10ft rods should be much lighter than the BnM 12 ft long Jig Poles
Just remember that BnM make a lot of different poles and that some are heavier than the others. The Sam Heaton's are the lighter rods and more expensive.
