The OP is far more experienced than me, but in a normal 7mm with a 5/3 hooded vest in fresh water and a steel tank, I need 20 pounds (give or take, depending on the tank). With a farmer john and an aluminum tank, I'd need a few more pounds. Add in a few more for salt water, and that starts getting to be a lot of weight.
Anyway, the Dive Buddy weight calculator might give you an idea if the weighting is completely off base:

I suppose the only way to know for sure is to get a tank to 500psi in a safe environment and do a weight check.
