Lightened?  Yuck.  Call me a perfectionist, but I *much* prefer the idea
of using a flywheel that was meant to be light, not one that was made
light.  With several of them in the $300-400 range, I think the piece of
mind is worth it...but I smoke a lot of bananas.

A light flywheel, safety issues aside, is a light flywheel.  The lower
the mass, the harder it'll be to get going from a standing start, but
the quicker the crank will spin up/down, and the easier it will be to
rev-match your shifts.  What's more important to you?
