I went through this exercise once, where I actually weighed everything, but don't remember the numbers.
When all was said and done the extra weight of the few extra cogs on the cassette for the 1x system was less than the weight of the 2x system. Shifter, cable, derailleur, chainring and chainring bolts add up to more weight then the few extra cogs on the cassette. Plus 1x is less to maintain.
1x for the win all day long.
