Wanted to get at this before it got me (had some sticky moments, so could've been the master for all I know), and opted for the South Bend Stage 2 Clutch+19lb Flywheel package at ZSpeed. Joe was great at getting the clutch to me separately a timely manner when he was out of stock in his store.
Holy **** this is flat out-better than OEM. I'm not going to hide the fact that I was one of those people who found take-offs in this car to be tricky (as someone who's driven 3 examples of 370Z's). It could be the sum of the parts (also got the insulated hose + Redline fluid vs Nissan Ester) and maybe better work/adjustment, but along with the peace of mind, it's a much better drive. For lack of a better term it feels "normal" finally.
Don't know how it'll feel when more broken in, but I expected equal or worse with the lighter flywheel. Shifting up to second seems cleaner because the revs drop more timely. So right now, I feel like this is a major must-do, or at least a priority before other mods.
