lightweight aluminum flywheel

I'm doing a complete engine rebuild. I've got the small 175 cc trick flow aluminum heads, new Comp cam, and plan a ATI intercooled supercharger. I have the t-5, and I'm wondering if I should even bother going with a lightweight flywheel. Please don't hold back with your thoughts. Will the benefit be worth the $400 beans??

I've got one. Don't really care for it. Probably go back to the steel one next time I change the clutch. Motor ran noticeably smoother with the steel flywheel.

Thanks very much for the feedback. I encourage more feedback. The more I think about it, the more I'm leaning towards the stock steel flywheel.
