If the delrin standoffs are threaded, they will be much lighter than aluminum overall, but the threads won't hold up real well.
If the they are thru holes, they bolt increases the weight a lot as it is rather long. I'd Imagine an aluminum standoff with tapped ends is lighter than a delrin standoff with a thru bolt of comparable strength,
