Flywheel interchangeability; 964/993/996

Ok, so 4lbs of boost is enough to make the stock 964 clutch slip gee... who saw that coming. Anywho, I'm pricing out clutch options and really on the fence on which direction to go (single mass vs dual mass). Leaning towards dual mass so as to have a little bit of inertia stored up for quick take-offs without the need to really rev it (especially with a grabby disc and plate). Car is AWD too, so it won't spin, it'll just bog...


So let's say I go with DMF; It seems "clutch-kit" options are basically anything 964 thru 996(and 997 even I think?) I understand for the replaceable items. My question is, does that relate to the pressure plate and disc only? Or DMF as well? It looks as though the 964 LUK dual mass is $100 more than the 996 LUK DMF and they have different part numbers; but are they interchangeable? I've also heard the 996 DMF is lighter than the 964 DMF but wanting to make sure ring gear and crank trigger pattern is the same.

Option #2; I go single mass GT3 RS flywheel and sprung GT3 disc and sport pressure plate for about the same price as a clutch kit + DMF. I'm not too worried about the gear rattle that supposedly comes as it's loud, turbocharged now, and has stiffer mounts but I'm worried that the car has no harmonic balancer OTHER than the flywheel itself. Is there any longevity draw backs to single mass LWFW or is it all speculation in my head?
