The pedal effort, not the take up position, will change with the RPM on a Centerforce with the weights. As you spin it faster, centrifugal force tries to pull the weights out, which puts more pressure on the fingers of the PP spring and more pressure against the pressure plate, increasing clamping power. Thus, the higher you rev it, the "stiffer" the clutch will feel since the weights will be exerting more force on the fingers.

It's weird at first but you get used to it quick.

As far as your last question/statement, yes you can balance a McLeod Dual Performance since the PP is a standard diaphragm type with no floating weights.
