I am a big fan of unsprung weight, wasn't sure if there was a significant enough weight saving.
As you say, you may not notice it but I do believe it all adds up.
My first car was an mg metro, I guess it made 70bhp on a good day, maybe 90? And if you took a normal 12 stone passenger you could definitely feel it being a little slower, fill it with 4-5 teenagers and you could feel the brakes struggle, bottom out the suspension over bumps and you would have to change down to 3rd or 2nd up big hills...100kg saving over the whole car has a big effect.
