Does it matter? Weight is mass multiplied by a constant. If they are of equal weight in the same conditions, they are of equal mass. If they are of equal mass under the same conditions, they are of equal weight. If they are of equal mass in one place, they will be of equal mass in any place. Unless we are involving something more sophisticated than Newtonian physics, the scale should stay balanced no matter where you take it.
But if you take it to Chicago, most of the plumes will blow away and the lead will be heavier ;)
