Here is another apples-to-apple comparison of lower end steel vs CF forks:

I have in my possession two Some Fog Cutter (V1) forks with steerers cut to identical lengths:

CF:760g
Steel:1,038g

So, a 278g difference. Not as big a difference as I thought it would be. Though I guess this was a fairly porky CF fork.
