So, academically speaking, if you compare same conditions with same sleeper, you can almost always go lighter sleeping on the ground. In winter it is not even close (if you are an ounce counter), and really only in hot enough weather that you don't need a UQ, can the weights be competitive for hammocking.
But really, who cares? I want to sleep better, so the weight is acceptable to me. I used to carry an UL cot from thermarest. Only UL by cot standards, lol. It was better than being on the ground, but not awesome, and pretty heavy.
