The downside to the OHC design is the packaging. This is another reason I love the pushrod LS engine. My dad's LS7 was much smaller than my 4.6 mod motor, even though the displacement would lead you to believe otherwise.
The Mustang is definitely really light for its segment, but not the lightest on the road. Early reports say Ford engineers are going with the "less is more" approach with the next gen. Mustang to lower the weight.
