I didn´t give you a ready steady go solution, in deed.
But if you can change the delivery costs, you should be able to (maybe 
in the additionalMarker hook of the basket rendering or in the hook of 
getBillingAddress) calculate the weight there and the you can decide to 
show the "to checkout"-button (in basket) or to redirect (in checkout) 
to the basket/shop/or whatever, aren´t you?
