Interesting. I was originally looking for a carbon fiber driveshaft, but couldn´t find a reliable one so I went with Shaftmasters. Great product though, so I can´t complain. 18.5lbs vs 38.8lbs, and even though I wasn´t a perfectionist with the install, no NVH at 120mph. I don´t know if an extra 3.5ish pounds could justify the extra 600$ on my budget.

The lighter weight of the one piece shaft reduces the mass which has to be accelerated so the car accelerates faster. It does not make more power.
The problem is that because the engine is tilted trans down the alignment of the two Hook joints are never aligned correctly plus the sliding joint in the shaft allows the shaft to run crooked. And with slop this cause harmonics and vibration. The CV joint in the shaft linked above eliminates those problems plus it is lighter than other one piece shafts.
