Out of the Box and on to my gram scale, all of the parts were 658gr for the FSA. The Crank Fixing Bolt weighed 23gr.I purchased a set of Extralite OctaRamp RC 50-34 chain rings and the whole assembly weighs 615gr.
I assume that the 2007 Campy crank is a good piece but I saw a cross section and the hollow part of the crank arm and it is a rectangular shape. The FSA has an I beam and is stronger.
As far as the TOTAL weight of the 2007 campy crank. I found an article in bicycling Magazine but just cant remember the exact weight. What I do know is that my FSA is lighter.
BTW; I went with Record because it is easier to fine tall gears. I am planning a trip accross the USA on my bike and the Campy fits my needs better.
