I'm considering buying a very lightly used pair of Sidi genius 6 which have a carbon sole. All my previous Sidis (2 Dominators, 1 Genius/Fives) have had a plastic sole (carbon composite according to Sidi).
Is the carbon sole much more vulnerable to damage than Millennium? Looking at my Fives they have some pretty deep scratches etc on the sole.
One of the things i like about Sidis is their longevity, should I just stick to the Genius 5s (the used 6s are cheap)?
