OR you can get a Ravx Arrow X cage made of plastic (for those who must have the CF look) for $6 that only weighs 38grms.

Personally, I don't fret over weight, and I don't like the look of plastic or CF cages, so I stay with Stainless, they last a very long time and hold my 24oz bottles tight without leaving marks on the bottles.
