I love it when engineers do not factor in all the extra weight necessary for all the cables required by the systems. I think that Embraer had a similar problem a few years back when one of their aircraft was found to be too heavy to fly after it had been fitted to match the US specifications. They had not calculated wiring weight, and so lost the multi-million dollar contract.
