Default weight of comp magnum roller rockers

I've pretty much decided on a set of comp magnums for the forged LS6 I'm building to go in my 99 FRC.
I got to thinking about their weight, and it occured to me that the roller tip on the comps might weigh more than the non roller tip on the GM rockers. It seems that every little bit you can shave off the valvetrain is good.

Thoughts?

Weight saving in the valve train is a good idea but it will be hard for you to make a comparison. Comp may give you the weight info as they will know what it is. Then you will need a balance to weigh the stock item. I imagine that will be fiddley to achieve. If you get it done I'd love to see the posted results as this stuff is pretty useful info.

I wonder if they are balanced 'end to end'?

True the weight is a issue, but on the other hand stiffness in the stud and rocker arm are more important.
