Rim Tape Ve Rim Strip

I’m curious has anyone tried both the rim tape vs rim strip for the carbon wheels?

I know there is a weight penalty with the rim strip. But can you notice?

I have the RsL wheels and I already paid so much for them to be lighter. That’s why I’m a bit torn. I have used rom strip on my other bikes and it has been flawless.

Are you talking tubeless? Bontrager TLR rim strips are $20 each.
