Maybe compare the weight of the two cranks. A SCAT T crank was around 7lbs more than a Dubats T crank, and double the weight of a stock T crank.

If there is a substantial weight difference between the two then what are the implications, both positive and negative?

Don't know, but for example maybe a heavier crank is not what you want when using babbitt? How does a heavy crank match up with a lightened flywheel? You and others who understand such things can investigate these issues.
