There's a ton of debate over pellets or leaf hops... That, thankfully, isn't my question. :) It's much simpler.

I've never used whole leaf hops before, but with the selection getting smaller at my usual places, I may have to use leaf hops in place of pellets. When doing that switch, is there any weight adjustment I need to do or is 1 ounce of pellet hops equal to 1 ounce of leaf hops in terms of affecting my beer?
 
10% more whole than pellet, programs like promash will do this adjustment for you. Also be prepared to lose a considerable amount of wort to the whole hops.
