You'd never know the difference.

I look at it differently:
2400 lbs / 600 hp = 4 lbs / hp
2300 lbs / 575 hp = 4 lbs / hp
The 100 lb saving is 25 hp I do not need to have for the exact same acceleration, plus better handling in the corners.
Now compare an all cast iron FE (original) to an all aluminum 5.0 based stroker with a 4.125 bore. That isn't apples to apples but the smaller engine does not have all the issues that an aluminum FE has.
