Message	is just as important, 1:3 is the general rule. For every pound saved on the rotational mass, it is the equivalent of shaving 3 lbs of static weight. Also consider that weight is factor in braking distances too, as Newton has said, "once an object is in motion it will tend to stay in motion."
