I suggest that if you have done everything else to increase your weight to power ratio possible, taken a good sized dump in the morning, not carrying any excess weight at all on your body, wear lightweight clothing with little or no additional items, found an extremely light weight grip, leash etc etc etc than the 3 or 4 kgs extra or less or so in the construction of an identical board will make a difference to you. In other words probably nothing to most of us.
Saying all of that though, light boards do seem to sit higher in the water and are more reactive in the waves etc, in that sense they feel better but I have never tried 2 exactly identical boards in different weights to really know.
I think the best advice is make sure you have a dump if you are overly concerned.
