If your main concern with 8020 is the weight, just keep in mind that 8020 is pretty ridiculously as a cross member shape. Also, avoid using brackets if at all possible. Take advantage of end fasteners and anchor fasteners to save weight. Over the past few years of dealing with 8020 I have found that unlike a tubular chassis you need very little cross support to have a sturdy frame, pretty much an outer box is strong enough to hold.
If you have any more questions about lighter 8020 construction techniques feel free to respond/PM/IM etc.
