Compairing Carbon Fibre with Glass Fibre

Hi,

In a recent thread there was a suggestion of making prototypes in Glass Fibre.
In doing this would I exchange carbon fibre 2/2 twill 3K 195g with woven glass 2/2 twill 200gsm or are there any differences which would make a another grade of glass more of a match? I will be using infusion.
I realise I will not get the strength of Carbon. It is just for me to practice before investing in Carbon fibre.

Thank you for the warning but I am going to use epoxy.
