I have a lightweight aliuminum flywheel on the XR and I really like it. I also have a centerforce stage 3 clutch, and the combo of the two is really nice. The flywheel allows the engine to rev quickly and fall quickly, while the centerforce si very drivable yet strong enough for the car.
In racing, from what I understand (and racers correct if I am wrong) you don't really want the engine to do much other than accellerate. Slowing down is the responsibility of the brakes. As such, the quicker the engine can rev and the faster it can fall off, the better. Heel/Toe is easier because the engine reacts more quickly too. It's less weight on the car a whole and less mass for the engine to rev.
I'd say go for it!
