  Any reason you want to run tubeless (I presume that's what you mean anyway)?

  Purely for weight reasons.

  Very little weight difference. What you lose from not having a tube a partly replace with rim tape and sealant.

  depends on the tube weight but can save 100-125g per wheel

  Agreed, depending on the rim tape (it can be lighter) but the sealant adds about 69g, a normal butyl lightweight tube is about 125g and a normal one about 200g.
