rolling mass has a completely different inertia. it's ridiculous how much more efficient losing 50 grams from the wheels can make your ride feel as opposed to 50 from the frame or a non-rotating part.
Don't forget the radius. It is far easier to rotationally accelerate a wheel that has a 2" radius versus a 13.5" radius (27/2).
