Thick mirrors

Since the arriving of Dobsonians,all the mirrors seems to have gone to be thinner even the ones not intended for this type of telescopes.Does it means that the old 12.5 " and 60 mm thick mirrors like the mine are excessive and could be substitued by a lighter one with better results ? Where has gone all the advertisements on astigmathism of thin glass plates? has changed the kind of glass and now we can get the same quality with a glass plate?
