Weight? If you're close to what the stock springs are good for, the money can be put to better use elsewhere. If you're way off what the springs are designed for, then spending a few bucks on a spring upgrade can make a huge difference.
As a fatty with an EX500 on stock springs, I'll say that upgrading the springs at both ends to the proper rate is the best mod I've done, even for just commuting. With springs of the proper rate, the wheels move like they're supposed to. It absorbs the bumps like it should so the ride is smoother, while at the same time removing the squishiness when I'm riding harder.
