Question 991.1 Lightweight Flywheel & Clutch Install

Hey guys, first post for me.

I recently bought a used 2013 991.1 Carrera S manual with 88k miles. Found the car to be in really good condition for its age and mileage as well as it being a single owner, warm-weather car. I had a Porsche shop local to the dealer perform a PPI and they did tell me the clutch would need to be replaced soon (hoping this was the original clutch from factory).

Got the car back to my area and a local indie shop my friends and family has used before on their cars. Turns out clutch is needed much sooner than later. The owner was offering me some options with a lighter aluminum flywheel and an upgraded clutch (not race-spec but more material than OEM).

My plan for the car has always kind of been weekend warrior/GT so I'm not completely turned off by a small loss in drivability over performance, but I've never owned a car with a lightened flywheel and was trying to get some input on whether it's a good idea or not. Also, any tips on other items to replace while the transmission is out? An RMS and throw-out bearing replacement have already been quoted.
