A 10 ounce light weight kilt is better for warmer climates, and is considerably lighter. However, there is less weight so the kilt is more likely to blow up in the wind,and also you will not have a swing like with the 13 ounce medium weight. I have a St. Patrick tartan in 10 ounce weight which is good for an everyday kilt, but not something I would wear out if going somewhere. Also with 10 ounce there will be more maintenance with it, because being less weight with 10 ounce also requires you to keep the pleats touched up, because they wrinkle more than the 13 ounce medium weight kilts. The best way is to take it too a dry cleaner and have them iron and press your pleats. I am not discouraging you from the 10 ounce, but telling you there is a little more maintenance required with one. The 10 ounce will also hang on you differently, than a 13 ounce medium weight kilt.
I wish you luck on the Morgan tartan.
Nice Tartan.
