I would think no one here would advocate that you should up for the 1.67 lenses with your easy level of correction. You have a very mild reading prescription with a moderate amount of astigmatic correction - very easy and almost certainly done with stock lenses.
Zenni seems to use their own special 'blend' of polymer lenses, which don't seem to conform to Opti Campus thickness calculations. With my two pair of supposedly 1.67 lenses from Zenni, the center thickness is 1.2 and 1.4 mm thicker than my B&M 'real' Seiko 1.67 lenses - despite nearly identical widths - an unexplained Zenni phenomenon... I would chalk this one up to, "you get what you pay for" with Zenni. You might want to try another vendor for a comparison pair - try someone like Global Eyeglasses or LBW Eyewear in their cheapest lens of the same width as your Zenni pair and see if the thickness is the same - I suspect they won't be. Then again, your previous pair of rimless might have come from a chain B&M store, which usually blindly spring for Polycarbonate lenses, which will be thinner than the standard 1.56 index lenses...
