In reply to OwenM:
Depends on what you plan & encounter on your route.
If you intend hacking about in gullies, water ice etc. crampons well fitted to your boots - the more robust the better.
I reckon a lot of falls / slips etc in winter are due to ill fitting crampons.
However, if you are planning to get safely up some boiler plate then ski crampons compatible with your bindings /ski set up will be way lighter.
Bear in mind when you are perched on some water ice crying for your mammy, carrying a few extra ounces seems sensible.
