Is a Welded cage faster than bolt in?

Will a welded in pro built cage show a meaningful drop in lap times vs. something like a safety devices bolt in cage? I have read lots of threads that they are theoretically stiffer, if done really well they can provide more room therefore a better chance to keep your mellon from hitting it and overall are safer?

Anybody have a comparison in lap times. Full bolt in cage vs. full weld in. At more than double the difference in cost and pretty much irreversible (a consideration in any 70-73)? I would like to hear some others experience. Prevailing wisdom can also be right I just would like to know that it is based on fact.
