You don't imo. Lotsa faith based assumptions I suspect.
In My mind the best thing about Wisecos is their V nice thin piston rings and their liteweight wrist pins.
If you don't mind the rattle noises before a careful warm up ritual and you've adhered to the Exact clearance requirements..
they are best of aftermarket choices.
Noting that OEM Yama pistons are Always the premier choice.. IF possible.

Re: Wiseco piston weight difference.
Normally pistons are balanced by removing material from inside the crown or around the inner piston bosses, not by trimming the skirt. On two strokes, I prefer to take material off the piston boss. You need to take a good look at your piston design to see where it's best to remove material. Some pistons have a balance pad around the piston boss specifically for balancing. If this is the case it is easy to set them up on a mill and skim a little material off.

Re: Wiseco piston weight difference.
As Bare says; Because of the different piston and cylinder rates of expansion, Wiseco forged pistons require larger bore clearance than pro-x/art/yamaha cast pistons.
Wiseco get a bad name when they seize up because the stock spec bore clearance was used.
