In my opinion, comparing armor sets in articles is a case-to-case thing.

I think it mainly depends on the relevance of comparing two armor sets, which boils down to three reasons:
 * Two sets share a similar application, but they also have stark contrasts. (Comparing the lightweight Dingy Set with the heavy Havel's Set.)
 * Two sets are very similar, but one may be favorable over the other in a certain scenario. (Comparing Smough's Set and the Stone Set as their weight stats are identical.) This is where your example comes in. If two sets provide similar defenses, but have different weights, then it might be a good idea to mention that.
 * An armor is outright superior to another in every way. (I don't know if this actually happens in either game, outside of the worn/clean versions of some sets in DaSII, but it's definitely worth noting if it does occur.)

However, saying something like "The Elite Knight Set provides better defence than the Leather Set, but is heavier" doesn't improve the page, since there's no logical reason behind comparing it to the Leather Set over any other set.
