The weight, will not make much difference if any, a little more weight on the cub at the front should make it a bit more stable try it and see, as long as it is a stock cub I should add, depending on how good the prop is, you may get a little more power and maybe not as I said try it and see!, enjoy ;D

Weight is not a big issue. I've used heavy/nitro props on an electric and they did OK.
A FAR bigger issue is style: Slow fly/fat vs direct drive/skinny.
Slow fly > thrust but are RPM limited and eat amps.
Direct drive > are more efficient at the higher RPM they are designed for but have less thrust.
It's all just a matter of how big the "paddle" thrashing the air is, all other things (diameter and pitch) being equal.
