The full length ejector is highly overrated especially when the 2.5" has moonclips. I've yet to have to manually pull them out of the cylinder after shooting with the shortened ejector but if I did grabbing the moonclip and yanking it out is a very simple act that gets rid of all of the empties easily.

Who told you there were 10 ounces apart? According to the factory specification they are roughly 4 ounces apart.
I have owned both since they came out. I have carried both on various occasions. The 2" Performance Center, fixed sight, 327 will pocket carry for me in the 5.11 Covert Khakis, the 327NG is not as comfortable in that role.
If I am belt carrying, the 327NG is the choice for the little extra weight and longer barrel and better sight picture.
It is true that the PC327 leaves the factory setup for moonclips and the NG does not. You can fix that anytime you want with a little cylinder work or a swap.
As to recoil, I could care less. I am so used to handguns that truly recoil, 357 Magnums are moderate. Also these are not target or plinking guns. These are your "I need to save my butt" guns. Under those circumstances, there is no recoil that would bother me for 5 or 6 little shots.
BTW, I am a fan of both of these configurations no matter what the caliber
That is not to say I will rule out the all steel 2 5/8" N-frames
As I tend to comment so often, you have never completed filling out your profile so we do not know where you are located. If you are in the South Florida area, I will gladly meet you at the range with one or more of these to try before you buy.

I ended up getting the 627 PC, and I LOVE it! LOVE. It might be a tad on the heavy side, but that just makes it substantial feeling. It's a completely radical gun with epic firepower on tap. EIGHT rounds of .357? OUCH! Since the gun is so radical, I felt it only necessary to replace the Eagle boot grip (which I found uncomfortable) with some Hogue Lamo-Camo grips. Now Mr. Blasty looks as crazy as he is.
