I too prefer the red spring along with weights on the heavy side. This combo allows me to back off the throttle during the apex of a turn thus causing a fast down shift of the cvt to a lower gear then having the gearing to pull stronger out of the turn and climb back to high speed sooner. As Sycarms stated the stiff spring can be hard on a clutch. This on/off/on the gas technique doesn't allow the rpms to drop low enough to disengage the clutch but rather forces the clutch to grab at speed so the opportunity for slipping is greatly increased. if your driving style is more of a cruising or climbing then I too would recommend the lighter spring.
