It can make a difference, but in my experience, more like 2 lbs.  As with most things, I'm sure it makes more difference with some bows than others.

Yea it just depends on shooting style and how "close" you gotta be for good flight. I generally don't notice much more difference than extra strands or different silencers etc.
