FYI - According to Steinway specs I just got (part of Guidlines for 
Institutional Management packet):

D (274cm) = 990#
B (211cm) = 760#
L (179cm) = 610#
M (170cm) = 560#
S (155cm) = 540#
K (132cm) = 600#
1098 (118cm) = 480#

cf: Japanese Steinway (a.k.a. Boston)
GP-218 = 858#
GP-193 = 759#
GP-178 = 660#
GP-163 = 627#
GP-156 = 667#

No plate weights listed ;-{
