The US standard is the same for creme and champagne or maybe a fairly insignificant 1/2-1lb different (I lost my SOP).  It's the UK standard that all argente breeds are 5-6lbs except champagnes that are 9-12lbs.  With all the decades of breeding them and crossing them to things in the US they mostly fit the ARBA sizes unless you find recent imports or someone completely ignoring the ARBA breed standard that still has a reason to not just make outright mutts.  I had some champagnes that were closer to 15lbs but that's even beyond the ARBA standard.  Again variation locally is probably going to be greater than any generalization or the standard depending what they were bred for and what the particular line has been crossed with.
