325g compared to what is the better question
A decent rear hub is easily 225g, so only 100 gram heavier. The only quibble i have, and it's a very minor quibble, is that if you trash your wheel, you are going to be without a PM for a while. It is less likely for cranksets to get trashed in a crash, etc.
