On the related regression comparison, see also e.g.

Regression Analysis." Sociological Methods and Research 23(2):230-257.

Weights in Multiple Regression Analyses of Stratified Samples."

According to Pffermann, examining the differences between weighted and unweighted estimates can be very important; so a hypothesis test is not out of place. Duru, the original poster, apparently wants to test the difference between estimates with original design weights and those with the same weights modified to correct for non-response. That's a related, but different issue.
