Road Cycling - CF or Al Bars? What do you think?

I am in the market for some new handlebars and wanted to know everyones opinion. I am looking at the Easton EC90 (CF) or the Easton EC70 (Al). I would like to know what everyone thinks of carbon or Al bars, ie flex, strength, etc. If you have one of the particular bars which one do you like better? Thanks to all who reply!!:D

I have the EC-90 road bars. They replaced my TTT Prima 199 bars. The weight is about the same but I really wanted the EC-90 for the shape. I liked the straight transition from the top to the drops rather than a traditional curve. Since the shape is a bit different from traditional, I encourage you to check them out firsthand to see if you'll like the profile.

I do believe that they're probably stronger than most Al bars and I haven't noticed any flexing. There are a couple of issues however with the EC-90 and to some extent carbon bars in general.
You may get some creaking... this is almost inevitable and really doesn't matter as long as everything is snug.

You have to be careful not to overtorque your clamp either on the stem or other handlebar furniture (brake levers).

You may need to use a "friction aide" (read: small peice of paper) at the bar-stem clamp area to keep things from slipping. Remember to not overtighten.

You can't use aerobars.

There's really a limited location for mounting your brake levers since the other locations are not approved for clamping.

Some stem clamp designs may not be appropriate for carbon bars. For the EC-90 and most likely other carbon bars, you need a removable face clamp. Be sure to torque the bolts on the clamp face evenly. Check with your stem manufacturer and possibly also Easton to make sure the design is compatible.

Closely inspect all clamps and anything touching the bar for burrs that may scratched the laminate plies of the carbon fibres. File down any burrs or sharp edges.
