The weight isn't disappearing it is just moving to the outer axles. How much redistribution you do is up to you. This is why I am going to do an axle-by-axle comparison at with a few different settings of the WDH. The result will allow me to choose the number of loose links according to how much weight I might wish to redistribute. (If I decide to keep the WDH at all that is. Removing the WDH altogether will probably eliminate 50 pounds)
I am really excited that you are doing this. In fact I (for one) would be very happy to chip in some $ to help defray your cost.

I am assuming that they will charge you $9 for each extra weighing. That could get pricey but the info gained would be invaluable to most here.
