Surprisingly, if you get the folding TG version, they are lighter than the regular version: 360 vs 390g for the 27 x 1 1/4".

I've been kind of underwhelmed by them too. I picked up a set of the Pasela TG folding/aramid bead tires in 27 x 1 1/4" for my Miyata 210 to replace a cheap pair of Kenda K35 gumwalls that I have put many many miles on (they were still in good usable condition and I've moved them to another bike). It's probably just me, but they didn't seem to really offer a noticeable improvement. I have been very impressed with Schwalbe tires and their performance increases seem to be worth the high price, but I just haven't really noticed it with the Paselas, yet at least. Not really trying to be a naysayer in an ode to the pasela thread, just throwing in my 2 cents.
