If you've been happy with M/S (didn't you mean A/S ?) tires in summer, I'd say you don't need 275 wide tires.
A dedicated, decent summer tire will outperform the all seasons, and Mud and snow variety.
Even sporty tires can't escape the current trend towards greener tires with less RR, so you can nowhave tires that combine good performance with reduced RR to get good mileage.

They will be 17" wheels verses the 15" I now run meaning total weight will be less

Unsprung weight will most likely increase with bigger wheels, unless you've deliberately chosen lighter wheels.
Lower profile tires on the 17" wheels will be heavier per inch of rubber they add to the diameter, so that's another weight increase.
