Should I be concerned about weight?

I found a good deal (25% off MSRP) on a 2012 Felt F55x with a professional fit (Guru DFU), however relative to many bikes out there, even cheaper Felts, this is fairly heavy (21.82 lbs). I have also found a 2012 Foundry Auger Disc B2 for $2250 with no fit, and a 2011 Trek Cronus CX for $2200 (with fit but not on a fancy machine). Do like Shimano shifting more but could get used to SRAM probably.

I won't be racing but doing workouts, trails and just for fun. Someday I may do a race for fun, but as of right now that is not a primary concern. Should I be concerned about the weight? Is it worth the extra money for a Carbon frame if I am not racing?
