Lightweight flywheels carry a lot less kinetic energy, this means off throttle the the engine, along with the car, will spin down much quicker. This has held true for every car I've driven with a lightweight flywheel.

Even if you're engaging the clutch to force the car to slow down (which is so cringe, rev match always) once the clutch is engaged the car will slow down much quicker than a stock flywheel.

If the OP is rev matching/heel toeing and using a ton of engine braking day to day, he's going to love a lighter flywheel.
