nismo or southbend flywheels

I guess I need to replace the oem flywheel while I replace the clutch, since I cant get it resurfaced.So trying to see if anybody has had experience or have any info about the nismo or South bend flywheels. I checked over on my350z and a few have commented about the nismo and maybe 1 or 2 comments about the south bend.
I am hoping since both these units are heavier than most (nismo=21lbs, SB=24lbs) and billet steel, that I will have very little, if any clutch chatter and oem like driveability.
Most of the nismo flywheel owners have said that their is very little chatter. South bend claims that there is no chatter and the driveabiity of the car is like the oem unit. Just looking for some opinions.

(here is the link for SB flywheel since most, including me, aren't familiar with them)

I'd go with Nismo. It is expensive job-get the best.

I just had a JTW clutch and flywheel installed. Sure, it chatters but. I expected it. Honestly, its not bad enough to bother me.

Is flywheel "chatter" directly just because of weight? Is the stock wheel this heavy weight specifically for this reason? Is there any other difference in technology between brands?
