It would definitely save a lot of weight.

M16's are about 4.5kgs each while the Wilwoods are less than 2kgs each.

The biggest drawback is the spongey pedal feel. Have a look at this HERE

Not my personal choice for a 7 but they will be fine though you need to think about your install. You need to pay attention to the calipers piston size and you master cylinder ratio. Seen a lot of people complain about their brake system all because they have just slapped it together with little thought or consideration and expected to get last word in feel and performance.
The number of systems I've also seen installed without Residual Pressure Valves is staggering and these simple little devices make all the difference.

I bet you the above posters system doesn't have residual pressure valves installed.
