The change in acceleration is a function of the gearing as well.

In low gears the flywheel has more authority over the entire drivetrain inertia, therefore low gear acceleration will benefit from a lighter flywheel.

In higher gears, the remainder of the drivetrain has a bigger influence (ie wheels effectively act like a heavier flywheel due to the higher gearing) therefore the effective reduction in the system inertia is less and change in acceleration will be smaller.

On the downside though lighter flywheels are harder to drive in traffic and if it is just a standard one that has been "lightened", the strength may have been reduced and you may run the risk of it exploding at high RPM.
