How much does the stock wood plate weigh? maybe we can trim the fat enough to at least match the weight.
I didnt show it in my sketch but i think it would be great to add some support for the heated bed wires. to reduce flex/wire movement.
Please post the design you want to cut on here for more input, before you cut. if you dont mind

The wooden build plate I think should be just a little less than 18oz for the 12" plate & little over 12oz for the 10" build plate. Without taking my 10" bed apart, I took the weight of the wooden spool piece which came out to a weight of .51oz. I created a .stl file of this part & it came out to 18.2 cubic Cm. Using those 2 measurements, and a dxf file of the 12" & 10" plate, I came up with those weights. Feel free to correct me, if I am way off.

How is the open plate going to affect heat bed cooling and control?

Seeing as to how most people have insulation between the heatbed and plate which should prevent drafts (convection & underside radiation) and the heat has to travel through the 4 steel screws to get to the aluminum (conduction), probably not much. If you don't have insulation, it might make a great excuse to add some since you'd have the bed apart anyway and you'd get faster and more even heating.
