Upgrading X1 to X01 or XX1 parts....SRAM group weights?

My 2017 Anthem Advanced 29 came with X1 components. Want to save weight and customize my bike. Upgrading wheels drops 250-300 g. By upgrading the drivetrain I figure I can lose some more weight.

Here is what I see for X1-X01-XX1 weights in grams from SRAM website, and it doesn't match what I found in research elsewhere. Who is correct?

Crank

X1 has three models and I am not sure which one my bike has.
1000 = 745 / 1200 = 705 and 1400 = 680
X01 = 546
XX1 = 546

My bike has a GXP BB. Not sure if the BB is part of the weight savings.

Shifter

Going to Gripshift as SRAM triggers seems too hard for my right hand which has an old nerve damage injury. Gripshift doesn't seem heavier than X1 triggers as far as I can tell when you factor in gripshift has grip and trigger weights are without clamps.

Cassette

315-268-268 respectively for X1-X01-XX1

Rear derailleurs

256-250-245 respectively for X1-X01-XX1
Not worth an upgrade for 10 g weight savings. Are there other benefits?

Anybody know any different? I can't find a contact email for them yet but I will try.

Given the above, I will get an X01 or XX1 crank, gripshift in X01 or XX1 (don't see X1 gripshift) and either an X01 or XX1 cassette.

thanks folks

The new eagle cranks are lighter yet. You can use them with 1x11.
xx1 Gxp - 493g
X01 Gxp - 520g

You could always go for a race face next sl G4.

Derailleur - X1 is just fine.
Cassette - I do x01. Same weight and usually cheaper.

Shifters I usually go X01 or higher. I see you're going with gripshift which I have no experience with but am actually going to pick one up soon because I too have a nerve issue in my hand that makes my pinky and ring fingers go numb. Hoping it helps.

Replaced my cassette with X01. Bought X01 gripshift. Bought XX1 crank. Race Face Next SL is nice, but, does not come in GXP and does not have 49 mm chainline and also does not have 156 q factor. For my bike I think it would be better to stick with the XX1 or go Eagle if I want a lighter crank. I wish I saw that Eagle crank was compatible before I bought the XX1 but I shoulda known. I would be interested to know if an XX1 eagle crank that is compatible to gxp can be obtained with a 156 q-factor.
