Unless I'm missing something - everything else being equal - the lighter aircraft should go a bit higher due to less lift induced drag at lower weights.
The 'speed' translating to 'altitude' would be the same regardless of weight, but you'll be creating less drag when you do it with a lighter aircraft.
