Yes, it makes sense to lighten the flywheel. It will provide a more dynamic
feeling to the engine...more throttle response. The downside is that the
car will have less momentum when starting off. However, I have found the
trade-off well worth it.
I would stay away from an ALI flywheel. This is for more high performance
cars and no necessary for street cars. A better value is to simply have
your existing flywheel machined to remove some extra weight....or purchase a
steel one.

in the process of doing the conversion on a 3000 is it worth it to lighten
the flywheel or even get a aluminum one
