Here's another questions regarding balancing: Is it better (smoother, less vibration ect) to balance an engine internally or externally?

Well, unless you've got the balancing machine in your garage you've got to take your entire rotating assembly (crank, rods, pistons, flexplate and dampener) to a shop to be balanced. Where they put it on this lathe type machine and spin the piss out of your goods and balance the parts.
So yes, its good to have the internal parts balanced. Infact, you're supposed to have the rotating assembly balanced each time you change the type of pistons.
Having all your goods balanced keeps the motor from fighting itself, and reduces vibrations at higher speeds... buncha other neato deals too.
Its just a good idea to do... so to answer your question. Yes it is a good idea to balance your motor. It'll help you out in the long run.
