I know that I can figure this out if I am good at math or physic but I am not. So can someone tell me?
PS: Please don't tell me to swap the cassettes
2.5 lbs? For me that's a no brainer. I'd rather take the 15.5lb bike with the 23. But it does depend on how nasty the hills you're talking about are. For 99% of them that might work for me. On the other 1% - you might be walking : ).
