How many guys have a fidanza flywheel or spec flywheel, can you tell the difference between the svt flywheel and the lighter flywheels; i'm debating on getting a fidanza or staying with the svt fltwheel.

I notice a big difference(in neutral), with how fast the rpm's go up and down with the Fidenza compared to stock.
Under power you notice a difference but not as dramatic. The plus side is a lighter flywheel equals less stress on the rod bearings.

they are also alittle more tough to drive until you get use to it

Why because the rpm rev faster or something else?
partly. if you haven't driven one before it will tend to buck more. that is what happened when I drove an SVT with a fidanze flywheel. but you get use to it quickly.
I highly recommend it. I love mine espeically compard to the stock svt flywheel.
I love driving around in 3rd... 4th and 5th gear. You can def tell a difference if you are cruising in 5th gear on the e-way and want to accelerate past someone. The car pulls a bit more without having to down shift which makes daily driving much more enjoyable...well to me atleast.
I say do it, because if you don't...you will always wonder what it would be like if you had gotten one.
