I've been working hard at taking weight off MY frame, so I won't be adding any on to the bike's, thank you. And it DOES matter to me how far I go. Plus, I'm not sure how a heavy bike will handle the descents I ride on. Just the other day, I saw a guy on a cheap bike go into a death wobble at less than 30 mph. Good thing the bike lane at that point is two cars wide!
