I think you've gone as light as you can without spending a ton of money or losing useful capabilities.
The weight difference between my LW barrel and M4 barrel isn't huge but the LW rifle feels better balanced, and therefore lighter, since I don't have the useless weight hanging out on the front of the rifle. If you don't need the QD mount in the stock, go with the MOE. It's definitely lighter than the CTR.
