Drivers adding weight rely before all on being able to refer to existing setups and being able to use them over and over without the fuss and make them easily transferrable over lipo use
Adding weight overall just for the sake of sheer weight makes little dynamic sense and ideally, a light car is optimal for any dynamics.
The "pro heavy car" analogy of the car being more stable over bumps just by changing 2-3pc of its total weight seems.. far fetched.
I agree with Mr Lonestar that it is not dynamically efficient overall.
More generally, when i see the insane discussions about weight addons at races, at the local level, the importance given to adding weight is clearly vastly overrated .. at least versus proper driving, damping, tyre inserts etc...
