I once had weight taken off the flywheel in a Triumph 650. I could not feel the difference. My 500 was stroked from 82 mm to 63mm and the crank was very light. That was very different.I cannot see how lightening a Commando crank would change much. I did not think I would like the heavy 850 crank, but it is as good as any. My Seeley 850 is an excellent ride. It's major advantage is in it's handling, but the power characteristics are beautiful. With it's cornering, it does not need to be so fast elsewhere. And because of my old bike, I am used to being scared- it is burned into my memory. So I can still ride pretty quick, if I am permitted. The Seeley is tame.
