Silica is heavy. It seems light because of the bulk dry density. I do not believe there is any significant strength imparted by using fumed silica. It's purpose is to give a fluid thixotropic characteristics; like catsup, you can't get it out of the bottle and then all of a sudden after you have disturbed it just enough, you get it all.
