I don't understand cf bottle cages at all. The plastic are much more durable & cheap, and if you get black, no one will be able to tell the difference.

Zipp Carbon Cage - 25 grams - $59.95 on Excelsports
Velocity Plastic Cage - 29 grams - $7.91 on Amazon

The weight saving is about the mass of one nickel. The monetary savings is literally more than a thousand times that.
