Yes! Was just thinking about this on my ride the other day. All these 11 & 12 gear wide range cassettes and I tend to use 5 or 6 of them 98% of the time. A few climbing gears, a couple mid range and a high speed gear is all I need. a wide range 8 speed cassette could be markedly lighter... yes please.
