Well, they look great! I doubt it's a big deal, but we've found the crank pulleys useful when you end up with keyway wear from the combination of the standard heavy pulley, and somebody leaving the bolt loose when they did a cam belt change! The nice light pulley does the trick.
I'd say it's just one of those things you feel like fitting just because you want to.
