You get what you pay for, the cheap carbon fibre is full of imperfections and is quite heavy in relation to the real stuff.

The extra weight is often due to the fact that the cheap 'carbon fibre' is often just a single layer of carbon laid onto a fibreglass base! It is usually easy to tell simply by looking underneath.
