MP5 likely weighs more than a lot of lightweight ARs do.

Yeah, after looking at typical figures, you're definitely right. I think mine clocks in at 6.5 lbs without a mag, sling, and optic. I was just looking at a semi-reasonable (still pricey, but not MP5 pricey) 5.5 lb AR build yesterday that included a sling and an empty 20rd mag in that measurement. And that was without getting into the questionable "race gun" mods that I typically dislike, like fluted barrels and skeletonizing of the lower.
