Assuming part of the weight comes from thick 28 mm tyres a decent price.

Was that Giant bike £100+ more any lighter?

I don't know the weight of the giant bikes. I looked at the giant escape which was under £250, but the weight wasn't listed. The excuse for that was the bikes come with plenty of different options. They could have just put a typical weight like other firms.
As for the more expensive giant, I'm guessing it's a similar scenario.

Not all about lightness. Much about feel too.

Not a road bike. A hybrid. A road bike is completely different.I wouldn't ride a flat bar much on the road as it isn't comfortable.

these are ideal in MK where we have the redway, I have a form pulse hybrid. Shame this is from go outdoors as the staff for the cycle section in MK are useless
