I have a Sram Dual Drive hub (3x8) which gives me an amazing range of gears to play with. However; I've also been obsessing lately about the weight of my bike and I've been trying to cut weight anywhere I can. My beloved Dual Drive hub is a porker though.
basic weight of sram dd 24 is about 2.14 lbs. and weight of a shimano 8 speed cassette is about .75 lbs. so you'll definitely save some weight by getting rid of your DD but at a price of having a wide range of speed.
