I'm sure I don't quite understand your point. Everyone uses weight because it's pretty important for climbing and if you only ride on the face of the earth, weight and mass are proportional anyway.
I was just giving the OP a rough metric to judge himself by. I'm never going to hit 4watts/kg, if I ever did in the past.
