Carport Roof - Metal vs Wood

Hi,

I'm in the process of designing a 7 by 7 metre flat roof myself (using Hyne design tool and bluescope steel span tables) and would like to know as a rule of thumb, what's heavier and what's more economical (cheaper)?

Roof structure using Steel purlins vs Wood purlins?

Thanks in advance. This would really speed up the design process.
