Your pack weight will vary more than whatever ounces you shave off with rain, perspiration...your food bag alone will vary by 10-12 lbs or so depending on where you are.
Trust me...let go of any worries you have about gear. I wouldn't tell you this if your list was off the mark but what you have will work. You can tweak it on the trail as conditions change. I say this because I too fretted over this stuff and at the end of the day the gear was 1% of the hike (again assuming you have done some research which you have) but people spend 90% of their preparation on it. I know I did. Again, good luck!
