Are aftermarket heads worth carrying the extra wt ?

If you had,lets say for sake of argument, a 350 superstock engine, ( compare like an 041 head to the approved Dart head ) and you had the choice of aftermarket heads, but you have to weigh a little extra..................is it worth it ? I know the runner volumes are a little larger and they may flow a tad better, not to mention they arent 30 plus yr old castings............but are they worth the extra weight ? I'm curious as to what some thoughts may be. Thanks for any and all help.
