Default Flywheel/clutch choices for L98 Cobra

I've been reading about the stock L98 flywheel/clutch being a pretty average setup, particularly with flywheels warping and other failures. For under a grand I can land a Fidanza lightened flywheel and LS7 clutch kit (minus flywheel) from the States. This seems to be a well regarded combo over on the LS1 forum.

My question is, how will the lightened flywheel change the drivability of an 1100kg Cobra? Would I be better off sticking with the stock VE Commodore items or spending twice as much on a Textralia, Mal Wood, etc clutch.

I understand the basics of lightened flywheels needing more revs off the line, greater loss of engine speed during gear changes, greater engine braking, etc.

I'm hoping that other darksiders have gone through this decision process already - thanks in advance!
