If you get a solid one it'll never wear out! I would guess a more direct response from the engine as it can't absorb some of the initial power by twisting. And if you have a stainless manifold the lack of movement will help to not crack it!

My guesses anyway!

yeah a solid front mount will transfer the power better but generally uprated mounts will just tighten things up alot, makes everything 'feel' better. you don't need a solid front mount but they are the ones that break the easiest as they are constantly being pulled whereas the rear ones are being compressed.
