I need flywheel advice

Looking into maybe getting a ACT streetlight flywheel for my stage 2 WRX. I have a COBB lightened pulley and will likely need a clutch soon so I was wondering:

1) is the lighter flywheel worth it?
2) how light is too light?
3) how is the daily-driving drivability affected?

I have read horrible reviews on lighter flywheels but was under the impression that it was a beneficial modification...

I have a act streetlite flywheel and act clutch with a Cobb lightweight pulley I really like the setup but I have to rev it up about another 500rpm from a stop so I don't stall

I've had LW for 7-8 years. I will be going stock next time around.

Stay above 14 lbs.

You will likely get misfire codes from the running both the pulley and the flywheel.

I haven't had any misfire codes and I've had the setup for 1000 miles
