The number of times I get up close and personal with the rocks, it would be STOOPID for me to have carbon fiber on the trail. My Tess and I have become one with several rocks and even a couple trees, she takes a licking and keeps on ticking. 
DH considered the Epic since it is "racier" than his Stumpy but it was over his budget, he wouldn't consider the carbon himself and he is pretty skilled I reckon.
