Default Best Lightweight/Strength Combo Aftermarket Bumpers

I have put off changing out bumpers because of the weight trade off. Gonna make the change, but hoping to get some advice on which of the many great aftermarket bumpers out their are the lightest while retaining their strength and durability?

Here's my Warn stubby rockcrawler bumper, it weighs 60lbs, has spots for factory fog lights, canister relocation bracket for 2012's and is strong as hell. The price ranges from $479 to $499. Also check out Offroad Evolutions front bumper too

Look at GenRight. Aluminum bumper with recessed winch and a stinger and I believe it weighs the same as a stock bumper.

GenRight Bull Bar aluminum. Super light weight, but it's not an easy bolt up.
