Well, lighter is always better, but I don't know if you're going to notice
4lbs on an Accord.  My FKs are about 4lbs heavier than my all-season
Firestones that they replaced, and *I* notice an acceleration difference
in second gear, but I'm a fruitloop most of the time.  I don't think your
wife will notice.

Wear is HORRIBLE on those tires (inversely proportional to grip, it
seems).  Can't speak for noise.
