Not a big a difference as you might think.
Important thins is where the weight is.

Once I read that Porsche made an effort to give the Cayman GT4 a bespoke body shell it made me think they were aware of this advantage of the Spyder. And perhaps why the weight savings on the 981 Spyder is not as diligent as it was on the 987 Spyder. Seems odd that big weight savings were achieved with other models like the 991 over the 997 but the SPyder only saw a marginal weight reduction this time around.
