All alkalines should feel significantly heavier than zinc chlorides of the same size - this is just down to the different chemistry regardless of construction quality.

The Panasonics are reasonable quality and I've not had one leak. I think they're made in the same Polish factory as the Sony zinc chlorides sold in Poundland, and they may be identical.
