It's more of a paper reduction that a real one. In reality, you're going to be shooting for zero sideslip and won't be able to take advantage of the greater weight; it will only reduce your climb rate.

In all, better to be light, rather than heavy, no matter what it does to Vmc.
Are you saying that VMC wouldn't change between the light and heavy aircraft if both are banking for ZSS only?
