It might also depend on your local terrain.
I met a local old guy in his late 70's... his driveway went straight up, maybe a half mile. He had a really nice carbon fiber bike, put it in low gear, and up he went.
If you've got a lot of hills, that few pounds saving may well be appreciated.
If it is completely flat, southern Florida. Then go with your concrete bicycle.
