Default ISS Composite Rack Question

Can anyone tell me if the weight benefits of making the Space Station
racks out of graphite epoxy have been quantified? When all is said and
done (complete assembly w/fasteners, padups, etc.) how much lighter is
the composite rack than the traditional aluminum one?
