I've always liked running my cars light, but then I also generally prefer a car with a stiff chassis to a floppy one unlike most.
One of the biggest gains from moving to lipo (especially with 2wd) IMO is the ability to move the weight to the extremities of the chassis - as tymill already mentioned. It's much better to get up to weight with things like brass bulkhead/squat blocks which give you the calming effect through bumps without the car having to heave lots of lead about letting you keep straight line performance.
