Do they make the ball cheaper without the World cup branding?

I thought that modern footballs are no lighter; just that they don't soak up as much water?

The footballs that professionals play with today are extremely light compared to balls of say, 10 years ago (IMO). I was very surprised at the lightness of the nike ball I used.

When I first started playing in the late eighties/early nineties, I'm sure that ones we used would probably fracture someone like C Ronaldos skull

That is the ball which Milan use, and one which Pirlo has got his free kicks spot on with... most of the time. Good news for Italy
