Hub Weight Difference?

As a matter of interest what is the weight difference between a cortina hub and a sierra one?



Anyone know?
Just wondering?

Just the hub itself, or the complete hub/upright assy?

sorry, the hub and upright assembly!

not sure about the hub+upright but with standard brake caliper+disc on the cortina is lighter.

I was aware the cortina components were lighter, and have read that the sierra components are much heavier but I was wondering if going for the rarer more expensive but better looking cortina bits is worth it in terms of weight saved.
