As far as upgrades go, is a crank change worth it?

FSA gossamer weighs 797 grams with bottom bracket; that's not bad. FSA Gossamer Pro Standard 53/39 - BB386EVO - FSA

I went from a shimano deore triple 170 crank to a sram force 172.5 single ring, the force weighs considerably less.
I did it so I could look cool, and try an external cup bb. I haven't noticed much of a difference in pedaling efficiency.
