Personally I find balance a little more important than weight.
Having a lighter, front heavy rifle swinging around is more awkward than a slightly heavier balanced one which doesn't. (Same goes for actually shooting it).
With a few light-weight options in mind go down and have a feel of all of them, not just the lightest one. For the sake of 100-200 grams you might prefer the heavier one.
In my opinion anyway.
