Shallow Super Sizes

I'm another novice hoping to get started with beekeeping next spring, and am hoping someone can give me some advice on which supers to choose. Is there a significant weight difference between a full 6 5/8" shallow and a 5 11/16" shallow? Is it enough to make up for the likely additional cost of installing an extra super (or is that even likely to be needed?) The weight is my biggest concern -- retirement and a move to southern Virginia are the events allowing me to start keeping bees, and this old girl isn't quite what she used to be!

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
