While this is all too often the case with cheap fonts these days, it is definitely not the case with high quality, well crafted fonts, as any skilled typographer knows.
In well designed Caps & Small Caps fonts, the overall visual density of the page is the same as when using the companion Caps & Lower Case version of the font. When you substitute small point size capitals that match the height of proper small cap characters the result is a lighter appearance.
