Default light weight pulley set, what difference does it make?

My 2000 impreza is due for a cambelt change, I was wondering if a set of light weight pulleys would be a good move as I have seen a set in sccobyworld that look good and seem reasonable pricewise, are they a good move, or not worth 150squid?

Cheerz in advance

Would look good when you lift your bonnet, being alot lighter than the Original pulleys puts less load on engine to turn, possible giving you an extra couple of BHP "I think",
Popular addition to the engine bay, so if you have £150 burning a hole in your pocket, go for them!

Pulleys are more of bling bling then a mod, flywheel is the mod for puttin less load on the engine.

less load for engine to turn, so theres an increase in throttle response and torque i believe

do you need shorter belts when fittin GFB or CDF pullys?
