Rears are about the same on both

Are there any decently priced seats that are significantly lighter?

IMO, racing seats are the only way to get significantly lighter seats.

That doesn't seem right that a power leather seats is only ~6 pounds heavier than a manual leather seat.

I converted my entire cloth interior (all manual) to leather, they don't weigh much at all, but I've picked up power cloth and power leather seats and they seem to weigh quite a bit more

If nothing else you could get a manual track and convert your driver's seat to manual (I don't think any stock leather interiors had a manual driver's seat but I could be wrong) and take out the rear seats.
