the difference in battery weight is 20grams, is that enough to wear out your motors and reduce flight time?

technically ANY weight you add to the Phantom will reduce flight time and add additional stress on the motors.
20g is not much to worry about, but will in fact reduce flight time by about 15-20 seconds (that's just a guess based on the fact that when I add a 300g payload to my phantom (gimbal/fpv/gopro), I lose about 6 minutes of flight time!)

Fast chargers shortens the life of your batteries. If you want max life from your batteries you want a slow charge. Fast charging is a sure why of killing your batteries fast.
To get longer flight times, you can also drop the voltage when the warnings come on. I think the standard warning are no the high side. I get over 10 mins on standard battery, with GoPro on.
