In my experience the racquet with less mass would swing quicker.
I've experimented with adding even 12-14 grams to the handle which is about 1/2 ounce and I feel I can swing said racquet quicker without the additional lead. The change in swing weight from adding 12-14 grams in the butt should not be significant...so I can only presume it's the added mass.
