what i_ache said, you save 300-500g depending on which guide you use.
the bottom roller definitely makes a difference in the rough stuff. if you think how much your chain bounces around even when its run tight, which if you are going downhill it probably isnt that tight because you would be lower down the cassette, its easy to see how your chain can get dropped. a bottom roller means that all that bouncing around doesnt affect the chains line as it leaves the chainring.
for me the whole point of going 1×9 was to keep the chain on, even run short and tight id still drop it in the rocky stuff all the time. good for fitness too, though thats more of a byproduct than a reason.
if you arent dropping your chain all the time then just dont bother.
