edit: I should mention that beyond the extra cog, I think Athena has better chainrings and a little more alloy hardware to make it a bit lighter.
I guess I should consider if I want to use a Shimano cassette then. Didn' think about that...

Weight wise, Athena vs Centaur, there isn't much of a difference, particularly for a fatty like me (I am working on that though).
