As mentioned, your weight will pretty much remain the same. Also , the Tiger stripe crests look great on black or camo shafts. I've personally used the Bohning White Tiger crests for the past 3 seasons and they've become my fav. I see this season they offer matching vanes but I prefer to stick with the ALL white. Now, I just need NAP to release White Thuderball nocks, but I guess I'll just have to go with Black for now.
