The steeper the grade the more weight matters. If you're mainly riding the flats or shallow rollers, I'd say it matters very little unless you intend to out jump someone in a sprint. On the other hand, if your rides consistently climb, the longer and steeper the hill the more important weight will become. And even more so if you're power output is on the low side.
