As per Peter White's site - Dyads weigh 55 grams more than an Open Pro. That's just not that significant to me. Another source listed the DT's mentioned above at 15gs more/rim. That, to me, is totally insignificant.
I agree with the weight comment, especially considering that a typical tube weighs 100-150gm and a 28mm tire is 250-400gm. You can make up for a 55gm difference just by using better tubes or tires.
