I couldn’t believe how light those 12V lithiums were. Same form factor as the lead and I could pick it up with one hand easily.

Yeah, such a big difference. I had a similar choice with a skid steer and the lithium version adds weight into the rear of the machine in order to stay useful.
Yep!
Tossed the lead-acid battery in my DR-Z400S motorbike, put a LiFePO4 in. The weight and mass placement difference was so significant that I had to re-set the suspension sag.
My DR-Z400S dual-sport motorcycle is like… 140kg?, kind of tall and narrow for a motorbike. The lead-acid battery is placed sort of high on a sort of fulcrumy point over the rear suspension. It's a very real difference. Didn't expect this dramatic a difference.
