MGA EV Conversion weight

One of the things you hear over and over doing ev conversions are the questions about weight. Mostly the questions are in the form of a "gotcha" designed to have you admit you added 1000lbs to a car without considering brakes or suspension. In our experience, most cars gain little weight and are better balanced when completed. For example, MGA conversions usually end up near 50:50 with less than 150lbs added. Considering the power upgrade, that's a great tradeoff. What are your experiences with weight on your conversions?
