CF Hood or Fiberglass hood

I'm deciding on whether to buy a n/a cf hood or a fiberglass hood. The reason for this is because I have gunmetal rims and the black hood would look good along with the black moldings, and my car is white. Which one do you guys prefer and dont make this into a flame war.

How much lighter would the hood be I mean our hoods are already incredibly light and so is it going to make that big of a differcence. Just my two cents but I would go with carbon fiber hood but was always curious to how much of a weight difference it is and if it is worth 1600 bucks for the hood that I want or not.
