The R3 weighs 1015g including battery, so if Z9 is 1180g with battery that's only 165g heavier not 300g. But I find it hard to believe Z9 is only 90g lighter than the D6 given it has no huge pentaprism, mirror box or mechanical shutter and body is smaller volume. I can believe 1020g including battery so a solid 250g weight savings over D6. R3 is over 400g lighter than 1DXIII.
D6 = 1450gms fully loaded - battery and two cards
D6 = 1270gms body only
Rumored Z9 = 1020gms body only
Rumored Z9 = 1200gms fully loaded - battery and two cards.
R3 = 822gms body only
R3 = 1015gms fully loded - battery and cards.
Differences:
D6 is 250gms heavier than the Z9 whether loaded or unloaded - they use the similar/same battery and cards
Rumored Z9 is ~200gms heavier than R3 body only.
Rumored Z9 is ~185gms heavier than R3 fully loaded.
Assuming the EN-EL18x battery is still 160gms.
