Poly bushings are a nice upgrade if you trim the sides down to keep them from binding when you tighten them and keep them lubed(zerk fittings).
The weight difference is VERY noticeable. It's more noticeable than dropping 40 lbs off the front of the car(sprung weight).

Poly bushings suck in the upright IMO. No amount of messing with them or lube will ever fix them not wanting to rotate axially as the suspension moves through its travel. They're the worst choice of bushing material for this type of pivot point that has multi-axis rotation.
