Ya I too have noticed the posted weights change online of several saws over this past year or 2. Funny thing is they had the 562 right the first time.
I posted the dry weight on my 562xp powerhead just after taking it out of the box - 12lbs 8 oz. on the nose.
Maybe they added some lead into the latest releases to give it another 4 ounces, just to make the competition feel a little better - lol - JUST KIDDING!
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the saws you are looking at - it comes down to the one that feels best in your hands. They all get old sooner or later, so just buy the one that feels the best.
Husky's website has the 562xp listed at 13.0 lbs. They gained a full 1/2 pound?
