First off, not sure why a difference of a couple of pounds would determine whether or not you keep a pup. Second, if that is an absolute deciding factor, then DON'T keep one, as there is no guarantee of size; the growth charts and even mom/dad size are just an estimate of what the pup will be when grown.
Theoretically speaking, what if you expected the pup to be 6 lbs but he ended up being 10lbs? What would you do?
