Oh, and a few notes from a guy who just (450 miles ago) went from a Single mass flywheel (19 lbs with clutch bolted on) to a dual mass flywheel(52 lbs with clutch bolted on).

1) I can run 100-150 rpms less with same load.
2) Starting is much smoother.
3) bump starting is now effortless vs cumbersome (could never do it with picky passengers)
4) idle is much more quiet
5) other drivers are much more apt to drive it at lower rpm's than they were before (small sample size of 2).
6) shut down is now smooth and silent.

Best sum it up is smooth, smooth, smooth.

EDIT: as an FYI: I thought I had a DMF to begin with . . . . previous owner swapped it (apparently)
