Quick Opinions wanted: Refinish factory 20-spoke wheels or replace with aftermarket?

Refinish Pro's:
cheaper ($600-700 versus approx $2500+)
maintain factory look, but lose existing curb rash and get a nicer finish (smoke brilliant looks like it may look nice with my Grigio Alfieri Coupe. http://www.wheelcollision.com/powder.html)
not a large selection of aftermarket wheels with proper offset

Replace Pro's
Might ultimately like the fewer spoke wheels better
Lighter wheel for better performance (can anyone quantify this at all, what does a few pounds less per wheel really mean in street use?)
If I ever track the car, I could use one set for track and one for street


Please anyone add to the list as you see fit.

Looking at the choices in this aftermarket wheel thread, I really don't see anything that I really love... Some look nice, yes, but none that shout at me to spend the extra 4k (versus refinishing). I am pretty certain I will give refinishing a go now. My favorite wheel to this point is definitely the GS wheel, if anyone has a set for sale (nicked up or otherwise) give me a shout.
