Yeah reconsidering what you said. Buying a higher end 12s cassette would be the logical choice otherwise to switch down to 11s you're replacing the whole drivetrain.
NX cassette: 600g $100USD
X01 cassette: 375g or less, $385USD
That's almost a full pound saved but those higher end SRAM cassettes are spendy. Though when you're due for a new cassette and chain it might be worth it. That's a big weight savings in one shot and you get to keep your existing derailleur and shifter.
Switching to RF Turbines would save another 100g.
I wouldn't bother doing any of this unless you were due for replacements anyway.
