Coincidentally, that is roughly the same weight difference that is at issue between Roval Alpinist vs. Rapide (both CL II). It already takes me a while to get ready for a ride (inflate tires, fill bottles, put in contact lenses, and get changed) so a wheel swap (especially with through axles) is just a step too far. Not to mention the brakes may make the hollow dry slight scraping sound if the respective rotors on the different wheelsets are not in exactly the same exact position. One wheelset per bike is the way to go, at least for me.
