I did look into some boots, those Seba boots for example are 773 grams plus you need a binding to attach which I found was around 250g. That is 1000g whereas my setup is 160g shoes plus 280g binding = 440g .. less than half the weight. Control might be better with the boot but I am pretty happy with my binding so far.. it has four straps whereas the commercial models have only three so it holds the foot a bit better.
