It's a very nice link to really good reviews.
As for the material of the bike, more specifically, how does the bike handle, ride quality, turning, stability and so on. It has lot to do with how the bike is setup, the wheels you use how the spokes are laced up (radial to 3x cross) tires you use. So unless you are completely enarmored by one material look at bikes not on material but what you would feel happiest on.
I used to shun aluminum frames cause its reputation of too harsh on a small frame. And now I'm thinking of aluminum frame. I also used to be Ti only snob and now I may be more interested in carbon or aluminum.
And I've put many many miles over the years on steel frame with steel fork, Ti frames with carbon fork. And now I'm on a aluminum/carbon frame with carbon fork.
Don't be shy and try new bikes. Always take your pedals and shoes wih you when you look for a new bike.
