Let me repeat:

Subtract the weight of the CF tripod from the weight of the equivalent metal
model. Subtract the price of the metal tripod from the price of the CF
tripod. Calculate the cost per ounce saved. get light headed. Buy aluminum
tripod.

One could use the same argument against anything of high quality including our single digit OMs compared to the double digit ones for instance. Certainly lightness as well as rigidity is a measure of quality in a tripod. If a couple of pounds make the difference in whether you take it out of the back of the car and carry it a quarter of a mile to get a shot, then perhaps it is worth it.
