Default Who's running lightweight flywheels?

What are thepros and consof a lighter than stock flywheel for a street driven Mustang? I was thinking of getting a Fidanza aluminum @ 13.5 lbs or a F1 Prolite chromalloy @ 17lbs when I change out my tranny and clutch.

i got the fidanza aluminum fly. there was a diffrence in revs and when you shift down its a quicker response.. there is no real negative except for the price[:'(]
