balance or not? 21gram difference

What do you guys think? My old combo used wiseco pistons and 5.7" rods, the new combo uses wiseco pistons and 6.0" rods, making for a + 21 gram weight difference. Obviously reusing the balancer and crank. I think I'm going to have it balanced for extra security, but opinions are welcome because I don't want to spend the money if I don't need to.

Thank you in advance
