As mentioned the rate of reduction is going to be minimal dropping the hammer spring from 20lbs to 15lbs. You may also get ignition issues as well. You will get more impact by installing an extended firing pin and a 13lb main spring. That is the typical route for ensuring reliability and lowering the trigger pull weight.
To each their own, but I wouldn't shy away from polishing and the sear cage assembly. It is not as difficult as folks make it out. This assumes a you have a little hands on ability/aptitude. If not then by all means pass but as mentioned the most beneficial mods include the short reset kit and hammer both of which require sear cage disassembly.
