I don't believe the options you want are difficult to achieve. I wasn't overly picky during my build and could easily drop a few lbs here and there (and will eventually) with some additional "lightness."
My setup (many options listed in my signature):
O360-A4M (solid crank) [planning to install Superior Cold Air Sump, which saves 3 lbs]
AFP FM150 fuel injection
Catto 3 Bld NLE (very smooth)
1 P-Mag, 1 Slick-non impulse
PC680 on the firewall (per plans)
Anti-Splat Nose Job 2 and nose wheel bearing upgrade
Saber 20 lb plate in front of prop (for CG, which is great)
Elect flaps/trim
Dynon SV1000T x2 w/dual bkup batteries, intercom, radio, AP panel and button panel, ADS-B in/out
Mostly fuses with a few select CBs on the panel
FlightLine Interior leather seats, carpet and elbow cushions
Grove wheels/brakes
Duckworks 55w landing lights (soon to be replaced with LEDs)
AeroLED Nav/Strobes/Tail
Dynon Heated Pitot/AOA
Current empty weight is 1105 lbs (no paint)
An EarthX battery would save another ~10 lbs but, IMO, needs some additional OV protection. I installed the 20 lb prop plate (vs 14) to allow for weight loss like this and still have a good CG range.

Yes, thank you, I'm well aware of this, I'm not shooting for the moon here!
