As to the replies of "lose body weight", I have a counter to that. Change that tired mantra to increase power. Anybody can lose weight, look at the drugged up runway models for instance. Gaining power is the secret. Sorry for the derail.
There is definitely something wrong with shaving grams if it not going to make a real world difference at all in how you ride and more importantly, cost you money that could maybe be better spent elsewhere. If money wasn't at least a small factor I doubt the OP or other people that drank the aero Kool-Aid would ever ask about weight. They would simply go out and buy the most expensive and lightest every couple of years.
