Which Continental Grand Prix to go for?

My bike came with standard Grand Prix 700x24 tyres when I got it the other year (2nd hand). Now the tyres are looking a bit, well worn. I'd like to go with Continental again but not sure what to go for.
My current tyre has peformed well for me and I am happy with it. However there seems to be a weight advantage of 75g per tyre if I go for the 4000 or 4000S in 23 width (mine is currently the wire type). Will this make a big difference, or should I go with what I know? Thanks

I use the 4000S - fantastic tyre IMHO. There are equally good options from other brands though. See what you can get the best deal on.0

i change my old tyres in jan 2011 to conti 4000s, the best tyres i have ever had, there are just brill, you will notice a difference in the roll resistance and cornering and in the wet well i did anyway, i even felt much more confident on the bike,
buy them and i'm sure you will be happy with them, good luck0 -
I'm also running GP4000S.
Superb cornering grip and rolling resistance and they have a reinforced band to protect against punctures.

GP4000S also last a long time, nearly twice what I got out of ultremo's
During which I had ONE puncture and that was an impact puncture! Great tyres.
It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.0 -
i have always used conti gp4000s tyres and they are great in all weather conditions and
super fast and smooth rolling.
touch wood i have only had one puncture in them don to over inflating the tyre i think.2015 Specialized S-Works Tarmac - Ultegra Di2 (7.0kg)
