Needlessly anal would be worrying about the hubs weight since the rotating mass is right in the middle, thus you won't feel the excess weight of the hubs getting in the way.
Tyres weight, (At least I think so) are the most noticable when riding your bike due to the rotating mass, I don't want to go all C+ and I'm sure someone else here can able to explain it better than I can!
sure for bombing round London it's not exactly bothersome, but coming from Wimbledon to Clerkenwell regularly I did notice a slight 100g weight difference on the rear tyres!
