I figure the extreme p&g eoc crowd would be the ones to benefit most from a light flywheel. If you can get the hang of launching, you would be throwing less energy away in accelerating the flywheel (you don't get to reclaim it usually), and you are always accelerating when you are putting gas in the engine in that scenario.
