Oh, weight, beyond a certain point, does indeed matter, as do light wheels when you have appreciable climbing. I plod contentedly up even steep hills with the amazingly heavy Big Apple Fargo wheels, dropping into the 36X34 at the steepest parts when pressures are sub 20 psi and I have a load, but on the gofast, with wheels that are, I kid not, three lb lighter, with bike almost 15 lb lighter, I certainly can feel the advantage and climb surprising things in the 75". I am very aware of climbing performance, climbing hills as I do in relatively high fixed gears.
