Flywheel Debate... 18+ xxx

Ok, I've been reading a discussion about flyhweels and their relation to weight etc and have found, as I knew before, that there are many different opinions on them. I figured it would be good/informative to have a debate here on the pros and cons of a lightened flywheel, assuming of course it is high-quality. So far here is what I have come up with...

PROS:
Less rotating inertial mass = more free power from engine to wheels
Revs climb faster
Saves gas

CONS:
Slightly jerkier shifts (up and down)
Revs fall quicker between shifts (contributing to jerkiness)
Potential high-speed power loss?!????

Feel free to add/comment.
