Clutch and Flywheel Recommendations?

Clutch and Flywheel Recommendations?
OK, two requests in one day isn't really cool, but I haven't found any real consensus on either issue, so...
Time for a new clutch (and throwout bearing, of course). While I'm in there, I'd like to really lighten the flywheel. I've done the Centerforce Dual Friction and a Racing Beat 8.5 pound flywheel on an FD and was wondering if this is a reasonable combo for the RX-8.
Don't really need more clamping force since the motor is stock, but I'm hoping for much better feel than the flyweight resistance the Miata transmission gives, especially compared to my FD 5-speed.
Or is there a better choice? With Exedy making Mazda clutches, will even their performance models feel different?
Thanks, all.
