TD42 harmonic ballancer

Hi All... Researching the power upgrades of the TD42ti i came across the issue of snapped cranks.. the main fix it tip people suggest is replacing the flywheel with a lighter one(possibly aluminium)... Apparently this will adsorb the harmonics transferred through the crank from the firing of each cylinder. Isnt this what a harmonic balancer is designed to do? So rather than spending close to $1K on a lightened fly wheel.. Is there not an after market Harmonic balancer that can help with this issue?
Any responce would be appreciated.
I think UFI are doing them....
