Default Knife edged crank

I've seen this mentioned in a thread or 2 on here as well as a few other forums online. Can someone shed some light on this as to what benefits could be expected from doing so?

Obviously less mass in the rotating assembly is good, but how much can be expected? The stock crank is right around 65-70lbs. What would be a realistic expectation in terms of a "goal weight"? 60lbs? 50lbs?

I've seen the same warning that it could cause street drivability issues, similar to a lightweight flywheel, but as of right now, I'm just trying to figure what the pros and cons really are to be able to compare them. Has anyone done this? This platform or not, just looking for some real world experience.
