for a c14se would be?

I don't think you're going to be looking at anything too substantially lighter if they're Lightened and Balanced as a Set !

You could go Steel if your desperate... there was a group buy a while ago I think !

there is no point lightening them to the point that they become weaker. you have removed the stress points and that is the important thing. i would not got out to lighten the std rod, but just to do exactly what you have. try and get them all down to the same weight and this will be fine.
