Notes:

I've fit my Meg (complete with head) into a legal Akona carry-on bag.

For diving wet (and other reasons), I have recently purchased a set of the OMS Slipstreams. You shave like 1.4lbs total (XXL Jets to XL Slipstreams). They're not bad but come with some caveats. Tim: You can try them this weekend when we hook up.

I don't think you're going to save any significant weight with plastic over AL back plate. I wouldn't bother. Take what you prefer.

See Skipbreather's carbon fiber cylinder mounts. They are sweet for travel and can accomodate a wide variety of cylinders.

I wouldn't chuck the 10lb roller bag. I have a large Stahlsac roller bag. It weighs 10lbs. The fish totes weigh 13lbs. I'd stick with the roller bag for the weight and the fact that you can probably fit more in if needed.

---> According to Steven @ ISC, the FRP can project has been killed.
