Blackwaters are nice and not near as heavy. They will be my next tire. My current tires are 29lbs. Black waters are close. I pull mine like stockers and I'm sure yours does as well.
I can tell a difference going up hills with 3 passengers. The 28x10 are supposedly 32 pounds. Same as 27x11.

How’s the clearance on those? I’ve been looking at the 28” zillas for my 700-4 deluxe
No clearance issues with the 27s. I think you would be fine to clear 28s. The only concerns I would have is the front tires clearing when turning and if they clear bumps when driving at higher speeds. I would up switching from the 27" zillas to 27" bighorns. I love them, but they have bumped the frame bar a time or two when hitting a pothole at speed.

One thing I found out to watch for is the load rating on the tires. Some manufacturers label them as “ATV/UTV” tires but the load ratings are really only good for ATVs. I ordered a nice looking set of 6 ply tires for my 700-4 but couldn’t find the load rating on them, decided they would probably be ok. Well when they showed up I saw right on the sidewall that each tire was only rated for 440 lbs (52 rating). No way is that good enough for a UTV and I absolutely would NOT run them on my side by side with 4 people. Would be very unsafe. So back to the dealer they went.

Reordered some Kenda Bear Claw HTR 8 ply tires with a 116 load rating which means each tire is good for 2756 lbs. WAY more than I’ll ever need but don’t have to worry about total weight on my tires even with a big load in the bed.
