There are different types of models that serve different functions, just like bikes.
A skinny waif will most likely not be on the cover of Shape, but a cross-fit more muscular women would.
Different looks for different audiences.
A sub 15 lbs carbon superbike would not best serve my 220 lbs muscular frame but a 20 lbs 853 Reynolds steel bike would.
My point is simply, lighter might not be better for certain body types.
In regards to the original post, lighter weight would not be high on my list of must haves.
Perhaps I'm an outlier?
Nor is lighter necessarily a better manufactured product.
