Weight-wise, a Trek 520 or Bianchi Volpe will weigh in within a pound or two(or possibly the same, depending on how the bikes are fitted out) of a higher-end (production) rigid MTB..mid-to high twenty lbs. Trek 950+ or Spec Stumpjumper...or others at that age/price-point. A Trek 750 Multitrack will weigh in about the same as any of these, or lighter, depending on components (25-ish lbs). All of these bikes(not sure about the SJ) will have fender/rack mounting options. If you want something significantly lighter to accommodate 38mm tires you'll need to look at a road bike with 650b conversion or a older CX bike with higher-end tubing...and you may have to improvise fender/rack mounts.
Your Cannondale with really fast tires, if they aren't already, is pretty much "it". You can build up another bike (always a good thing), but you'll end up close to what you have.
