I have one of the rear wheel ones installed on one of my extra YZ/YZF wheels, and I really liked it. I plan to get a front wheel one too.

The difference in weight is negligable IMO, but it has other benefits that are sweet. Like even if your tire gets punctured and looses its air you still have like a 110psi seal between the tire and rim, so the rim never comes loose from the tire if it gets flat. That is nice because if you get a flat tire you can still ride on it without trashing your rim in the process. And also the only way to get a flat is from a puncture because there is not longer a tube in there that can get a pinch flat.

The downside to this is that it will leak a little bit of air. Mine would leak maybe like 1psi of air per day, so you do have to check your tire pressures more often to make sure everything is OK. This is not a problem for me as I am always fiddling with my tire ressure anyways to get best grip for whatever terrain I am riding at the time.
