I am in the middle of my wings and about to order wire. I got this advertisement today from a company that caught my eye.

They claim this wire "meets or exceeds the electrical and thermal characteristics of PVC wire, while being smaller, lighter and more durable."
They are claiming that it is up to 40% lighter. How much weight in small gauge wire do you think is in a typical 7/8/9? Do I have to potential to save 10lbs or only a few ounces?
If it is ounces it probably isn't worth the time to explore further, but if it is lbs then I need to research the other items fire resistance, abrasion resistance,etc.
I tried searching the forums but didn't find much info for the total # of feet or wire weight in the average plane.
