For me, with a crankset, sift quality and durability trump weight savings any day of the week. You can get lighter cranks than 105, but among the ones I've owned and ridden, the most consistently reliable have been Shimano, namely the Hollowtech II series (7800/6600/5600/etc and newer). FSA cranks don't have the best reputation, and neither do Sram, for that matter.
