Depends what extent of balancing you want, for example I have the "works" done rods end to end, as well as a set, some just do as a set.
The yb is very well balanced as std as are most fords, but if having balancing done, seriously consider lightening the flywheel whilst at it, cost around £40-£45, but makes a big difference.

Unless it's mentally light, ie carbon fibre ?, get it on, you'll be glad you did, although you lose a bit of inertia(stored energy) the plusses vastly outweigh the minusses.
