It's close, a foot of 1x1 80/20 weighs .53 pounds and a foot of 1x1 1/8 wall weighs about .512 pounds. This is assuming 6061. They're so close its negligible.

(These numbers are what SolidWorks is telling me).

You can pocket 1x1 tubing, but you can't pocket 80/20 so that could be included in the weight tradeoff.
