flywheel (to lightnen or not)

[David Glubrecht]

Looks like I finally get to put a NF in my 4kq.  I have been trying to kill (unsuccessfully) my motor.  I have run it hard and not been overly religious about changing oil.  I also thought that it would be worn out my now (~270k miles) but it still runs great (damn thing).
I have also known that I will be needing a clutch for a while and as long as I need to do a clutch, I might as well do a motor swap.
The question is (keeping in mind that my wife drives the car mostly) should I use the newer lighter flywheel.  How much difference is there?  Thanks to the heavy flywheel and the low end torque, I was able to get my wife to drive a stick (she wanted an auto).
I wouldn't mind a bit better throttle response, but I don't want to loose the extremely easy to drive (and almost impossible to stall) characteristic of the car.
