CS-HG41 - Matte grey, $23: Shimano CS-HG41 Cassette (Silver) (8 Speed) (Shimano/SRAM) (11-30T) - Performance Bicycle (performancebike.com)
CS-HG51 - Silver, $22: Shimano Alivio CS-HG51 Cassette (Silver) (8 Speed) (Shimano/SRAM) (11-28T) - Performance Bicycle (performancebike.com)

For a $6 difference I would not worry about anything else other than gearing and color. I doubt anyone who rides an 8 speed cassette is a weight weenie, at least not with respect to the bike that cassette is on.
