Thanks for all the info so far, I'm trying to figure out if it's something I just wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't heard about it, or if it's really quite obvious.
For example, I went from an alloy 2016 Synapse to a HiMod SystemSix, where I really could feel the stiffness difference. Where would you say the rental track bikes and the Planet X Pro Carbon Track sits on that (admittedly sparse) scale? And what's the stiffness value for money? (Would pricing up actually be worth it to gain stiffness?)
