I know what I like. I'm not into racing, where the benefits of a good carbon frame will be advantageous. For my kind of riding, steel or even ali will do me fine.
And as @fredtc said, if I had a grand for a frame I know which way I'd go. That Cielo is beautiful.

I'd probably wouldn't race on my carbon bike, It's for long social rides on a Sunday where I enjoy the (light) weight, comfort and bling.
If I raced again it'd be an aluminium frame - race on what you can afford to replace.

I'd rather have a nice steel frame over a carbon any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Just wired that way I guess. Aesthetics, the craft of the frame builder, the personal touches. Maybe I'm just too old for these new fangled plastic bikes.
