We need variety in our aviation, so we should not make too many of the same thing but we need to improve our art and keep on top of our game. But it is not only us that we are making planes for so, customer is the king.
From the list only Hürjet value is estimated from the Korean FA-50 Fighting Eagle which is 12.215 kg. All other values are official.
EDIT: American Boeing-Saab T-7 Red Hawk plane powered with the same engine weighs 12.125 kg with first flight in 2016.

Electric propulsion only recently became capable of supporting useful loads for justifiable duration.
You need to be able to put together best of everything to make a compelling product.
