I see what you're getting at but disc brakes are not really a weight weenie choice compared to rim brakes? It seems a bit of a pointless argument to me.
But I understand what you're getting at, regarding the lack of braking surface and therefore it should be lighter. People don't choose disc brakes so they can have a lighter rim...
