Well... When I made the swap from alu (Lemond) to carbon (Focus) a couple of years ago I was surprised at the difference in comfort. Having said that I rode a CAAD10 at an Evans event last year and preferred it to a BMC ProMachine that I threw my leg over 5 minutes later.
If I was buying now for short rides and crit racing I'd go for alu and spend the difference on some mega wheels.
