I think what he meant was it's not cost effective to spend 2x the price on the CF shaft to only save 1 additional lb of weight. For that extra price you could save considerably more in other locations. ie $500 just about nets you a flywheel and front bumper beam replacement @ 15.4lbs total savings, 10 of that rotating mass.
Personally I went with aluminum though as 2 separate carbon ones disintegrated on my Vette (and I don't drag race). The weak link is the epoxy that holds the carbon to the aluminum yoke. Over time and heat it breaks down and lets go then the yoke spins free in the carbon tube.
