Need Balancing?

Mahle PowerPak Pistons weight is heavier than OEM. The piston itself is the same weight, its wrist pin is 18 grams heavier. I’m saving some weight by using the VAC Rod bolts instead of the OEM but there is still a weight difference over OEM overall.
Does the rotating assembly really need re balancing?
I’ve seen different opinions.
