So let's go with the current massively-approximate assumption that a 1 cm drop saves you 20 grams.
Then let's say I drop my bars 4 cm, which is quite a lot (assuming I'm not starting out sitting straight up) to save 80 grams.
That's still less than I'd save by upgrading my P2C to a P4. And it could possibly be that much more again by upgrading from the P4 to the P5 (we'll find out soon!).
If I'm getting all this correct, than I call BS on all the people who chime in to say "Body position matters is 20 times more important than the bike anyway"... or similar such sentiments. Assuming you start with semi-reasonable position, and you own a bike like the P2 (which is one of the best of the non-"super bikes"), then the remaining improvements from fit are on the same order as buying a new bike.
