Aluminum or Carbon? Thoughts?

Looking into getting a new ride and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around a carbon frame. I have a 99 Klein Quantum and it has a carbon fork (blades). That bothered me but I've had no problems with it.

I'm big, heavy and like to go fast. Roads around here are rough. I'm leaning towards a CAAD (in fact I have $$ down on one) but don't want to regret my choice.

Not too worried about speed on this bike as the Klein will be put back to race trim for my fast rides, but this one will be my work horse.

Any thoughts?
