By taking weight away from your valvetrain and strengthing it at the sametime is benefical because it makes the valvetrain more stable at all RPM's i.e. reduced flexing, extending the life of the components. Lightning different components (retainers, locks, valves etc..) will reduce the amount of strain you put on the spring, allowing them to control the valves better. You will be able to bring the motor into higher RPM's if you need to because of the now stronger and lighter components.
