2) The same set of 245s...

Have you diven on the RS3s before? If not, be warned, they have a very different feel than most other ST tires. They're very mushy and offer very little in terms of feedback.

Less weight is always a good thing. (so long as it doesn't compromise safety, structural integrity, etc.)
