23 matched panels · 1.95 to 5.2 mm · specifications from both makers' datasheets
The two lineups side by side, then what the matched panels say about weight, power and what each maker publishes. Every figure is the maker's own; the planner adds nothing it cannot point to on a sheet.

Weight and draw are per square metre of cabinet, so different cabinet sizes compare fairly. Ranges run across every panel the maker has in the database, not only the matched ones.
What the sheets say
Absen and Planar overlap on 23 matched pairs between 1.95 and 5.2 mm; outside that band one of them has no comparable panel.
Absen is the lighter cabinet in 0 of 23 matched pairs, Planar in 23. Across their lineups that is 19 to 38 kg/m² against 14 to 34 kg/m².
Absen draws less at full white in 19 of 23 matched pairs, Planar in 4. Lineups: 326 to 800 W/m² against 321 to 1,200 W/m², which sets the circuit count.
Cabinet formats: Absen builds in 250×500, 240×540, 600×337.5, 500×500, 500×1000, 1000×500, 960×540, 1000×1000 mm; Planar in 604.8×340.2, 500×500, 604.8×680.4, 500×1000 mm. A shop that already owns one format keeps its bumpers and cases.
A hanging limit is published for 42 of its 57 panels by Absen and for none of its 39 panels by Planar; where it is not, the planner uses a conservative placeholder and says so.
Typical draw is estimated as a third of the maximum where a sheet publishes no figure: Absen for none, Planar for 14 of 39.
Matched panels, side by side
Each pair is two panels of comparable pitch, one from each maker, with the same wall built from both.
