Don't you just love it when people speak opinion, insisting it to be fact.
I did the test, weighed the wheels and ran both sets on the same bicycle, a 1975 CCM Tour du Canada. I will not go into detail here, but the difference in weight was 2.9 pounds and the ride feel was noticeably improved - in my book.
And stating in my book is like saying in my opinion. I respect the right for others to have a different opinion than I do, and can do so without calling their opinion "absurd".
