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.
For that price, I wouldn't worry about it wearing out, LOL! Compare any of these with an 11-speed cassette.
