You probably won't notice a difference between 5 wt and 6.5 wt in the forks like you would in quality forks with all kinds of valving in them.

You probably will notice a difference with different weights in each fork.
good point, I know even the same weight would have different viscosities. But like you are saying these forks are so basic I am sure especially me being new to these bikes , I wouldn't be able to tell.
