The photo I posted above is the RAM aluminum, with a steel insert (where it hits the clutch disk). THis gives the lightness (almost) of all aluminum, yet the longevity of billet steel.
THe holes are merely how they rivet(?) the two compounds together, not for lightening.
Not sure how much lighter the billet all steel one is, but I remember holding both once, and you could tell.
