A and B stroke piston weights and other questions

greetings guys,

ive been wondering, lets say on a "inbetween" stroke , (i say that cuz the bigger stroke sometimes are easier to configure)

74-76mm stroke

these strokes can be used with 5.4" stock length rods , with a decent amount of barrel spacers
and we all know alot of engines like this have been built , using A pin height pistons ofcourse

i wonder though given the same stroke , using a 5.5" rod length would be possible with a B stroke piston height
example
lets say a 74mm stroke + 5.5" rod length, maybe would need 1mm to 1.5mm of turning on the barrels to give use
decent deckheight in the region of 0.040-0.050" depending on case height

the question is (for me atleast)

does the benefit of B stroke pistons (lighter since theyre shorter) outweigh the hassle of running longer rods
and or turning barrels ?

i know eliminating the barrel spacers, and making the motor a lil less narrow is a benefit but im wondering strictly on piston benefit alone

is it something we could notice in performance/drivability , the weight difference of the piston
+ the added weight of the 5.5 rod vs 5.4

im imagining on a high rpm highly tuned engine.. it might be beneficial , longer rods, wrist pin closer to the top of the piston for less "rock" at tdc and bdc , but how bout for a hot street engine?

if this is such a useless question pls dont shoot me
its my 5th cup of coffee already
