The following is take from ATS's web page regarding lightweight flywheels:
Light flywheel vs Heavy flywheel
From the pictures on the left you can see the difference in the flywheel thickness very easily. Generally, a very light flywheel frequently generates resonance noise / vibration at a certain RPM. With a heavy flywheel, the resonance problem is solved. The actual weight of the tested flywheels are 3.56kg for the light flywheel and 6.86kg for the heavy one. The weight of the heavy flywheel is almost double. The weight difference clearly produces the intended effect and anyone can feel the difference in actual driving.

Just my 2 cents.

I experienced none either. I think Toda makes great flywheels. And theirs doesn't have all the countersunk screws in the disc...which makes it even better. But the Exedy kit is probably a lot different since it's for higher performance.

It's not just the weight of the flywheel. Its the combined weight of the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate that causes the harmonic balance to be thrown off so much that resonances are induced. I use to have a light weight spoon flywheel with an ACT clutch and pressure plate. Like your experience, there was no noise or vibrations. But the total combine weight of my current ATS setup is significantly less than that and I'm sure significantly less than your setup.
