Having used both, with vinyl, you get some bubbles. Even if you use a heat gun. With plastidip, it is hard to clean, if you rub against it , it will sort of leave a smudge. Hard to not scratch it, last the most 4 months, then will need to be redone, to look good !

Is weight a big concern with plastic dip?

No weight is no issue, it's just a bit thicker than vinyl, after the recommend two coats, of plasti dip !

Once you get past the difficulty of a good application, a vinyl wrap is going to be a lot more durable.

If done properly (edges cleaned and wrapped over) the vinyl looks just like paint, and can be washed without lifting. Plastidip isn't going to give you that.

plasti dip can be power washed without coming off. Its very cheap, easy to apply and easy to remove (when you want it to). Spend 8 dollars on a can and try it on something. if you dont like it you can peel it off
