Also
How much less does chrom moly weigh compared to the same amount of steel?

CM is much harder to weld and more likely to crack, it'll flex a lot less, sometimes that's good, sometimes it isn't all depends on your application. i had a CM chassis once and it was too stiff and cracked a lot. i like mild steel for most applications.
