You could do your grid cell level analysis unweighted, particularly if there is only one cluster in each grid cell, but if you have more than one cluster in a grid cell then they are likely to have different weights and thus to combine them it would be better to weight the data. It is not clear though what the purpose and benefit of the grid cell level analysis would be if you know that the results are not representative.
