Default carbon bottle cages, worth it?

or is this weenie-weight counting?

For example here is a 30gm that is only $15.

they look cool but they break like all others. Weight weenies love them and I usually like low weight but I spend my money first on spinning weight before I spend it on stationary weight. Wheel sets, cogs, ball bearings and hubs.

so do you use carbon bottle cages?

for my bottle cages, cheap aluminum, I think they average about 3 years apiece.

Same for carbon?
