Hey that is an interesting question, Rob. The Rhino Rack HD crossbars weigh a tiny bit more than the equivalent length vortex crossbar, but not by much.
For example, a single 54" HD bar # RB1375B weighs 4.41 lbs while a single 54" Vortex bar # RRVA137B weighs 4.26 lbs.

Hey Rob, did the small weight difference between the HD and Vortex crossbars make a difference for your setup? Knowing how it affected your load or handling could help others comparing these bars.
