I knew a guy that removed the little dust caps from the presta air fill valves on his road bike. He also wanted to reduce unsprung weight. FWIW he did ride faster than me.
Im a fan of the beefier moog links, unsprung weight be damned. They feel better (in my hand). Much of the OEM suspension (even on the Aero) feel marginal, flimsy even. so finding a component that has some heft is a great pleasure.
however you are right, the failure mode of these links is at the ends not the rod themselves. I've never seen a failure where the rods bent. I think you'd be fine going with OEM links if that is more to your taste.
ok how about this: the thinner, spindly links flex under load during aggressive cornering? The beefy moogs don't flex giving a more precise road feel? ( It's only conjecture since I haven't aggressively cornered in about 15 years :-) )
