j-badov, the equivalent performance (resonant frequency) for the VP would be obtained by simultaneously *reducing* the mass and reducing the spring rate of the thin-skin bladders.
Therefore, by inspection, mass cannot be the *key* to the design of the mass-on-spring isolating system you seem to think it is.
Also, a larger mass doesn't necessarily require more surface area as higher density of mass will solve that particular problem.
Maybe dust off the old university textbooks, eh? :-)
