Any light-weight alternatives for seatpost shims? (31.7 --> 27.2) The stock Giant one came in at 80g!

Both of these outfits have shims. QBP calls theirs Problem Solvers. Shims from both of these companies are lightweight aluminum and work quite well. My 30.9 to 27.2 shim couldn't have weighed that much.
Here's mine for my Giant.....Fast Freddy

so I wonder getting one of these will save much weight. Maybe get a new seatpost clamp.
