I think a half lb may be overstating it, keep in mind that just comparing stem and bar weights isn't the whole story since the threadles style needs a longer (and thus heavier) steerer tube. But most lightweight bars sold these days are 31.8, as are threadles stems whereas I doubt you'll find a light quill stem with a 31.8 clamp. If your going to be a weight watcher going with threadles does make sense.
