Definitely worth spending time/money doing a lot of research and getting a lightweight setup. For tents I use a Tarptent also - the StratoSpire 2. Enough room for two, only weighs around 1kg and packs down really small.
For ultralight sleeping mats/pillows I find Exped stuff really good, and the same for sleeping bags.
Having a nice light sleeping and cooking/eating setup will save you so much weight and space in your pack you'll be amazed.
