I'll neither agree nor disagree with you because I have no evidence one way or the other. However, I do have to ask: do you happen to have any details about the system that can back up what you say. My SWAG would be that the start/stop system adds no weight. Speculatively, I'd agree that it probably requires a more durable starter motor that could in theory increase weight, but not necessarily.
