Remove 1 pound of rotating weight from the OD of the flywheel vs. a 1 pound reduction from gun drilled axles.....

I was just about to say exactly that. The further away from the center of rotation the greater the benefit. Easy way of testing this is to hold a ten pound weight in your hand , and then put that same weight at the end of a 1 foot rod, grab the opposite end of the rod and try to hold it up.
