I don't like the top tube location since I carry my bike up the stairs all the time and like to have the tob tube on my shoulder. A top-tube mounted pump is on my wife's bike and think it's awkward to carry a bike when the pump is located there.

Take the pump off when you have to shoulder the bike. A stay mounted pump can become dangerous if it gets dislodged while you're moving.

With my wife and I weight is not a critical issue as most of our rides are quite long, out in the country and away from help. So we carry what we think we might need.
