i leave rings out of comparisons as they are easy to swap.

2 specialized arms @ 172.5 incl spindle + washers/lockring = 324g.
2 hollowgram arms @ 172.5 + spindle + crank bolt/spacer/washers = 365g.

splitting hairs, but the whole hollowgram-is-the-lightest isn't accurate.

hollowgram cranks are pretty awesome, though. love them for MTB.

i don't have an SRM road spider for cannondale handy to weigh but a MTB spider is 140g; specialized road SRMs are 118 (compact) to 169g (standard).
I posted it as a reference, it's surprisingly light. When I weighed it I tried to include everything I'd need to use it. The rings are a bit light, I think, and the aluminum bolts screwing into the small ring is nice. I'm using a Praxis outer with the stock inner right now (finally got rid of the 44T inner so it no longer rubs the chainstay).

I think my Campy Record aluminum crank + BB was in the 900g range. I think I took pictures of it on the scale as well but I don't know where those are.

Mother in law had computer back up questions etc and I did a quick "info" on the folder for pictures on this mac - 300+ GB, mainly of Junior (pics and videos). On a 500GB drive that's a lot. I forgot some of the folders I had, from previous phones and such. In another folder I have some dash cam clips. All the unedited ride clips reside on external drives.
