Is Fiberglass Still a Relevant Choice as a Bow Material?

I know that Glasser has sold a lot of fiberglass violin bows over the years, and I have not played one, but it would seem that carbon fiber has reached a price point that makes fiberglass moot. Are there sonic (or other) benefits in the material that are hidden from me? Does anyone here still play one?
