Carbon vs. AL wheels

What are some of the advantages/disadvantages of carbon wheels over aluminum? Are they more difficult to maintain, more easily susceptible to damage, more 'supple' and vibration dampening? I'm contemplating getting a set of Easton EC70's to replace my EA70's, and just want some opinion or experience with carbon wheels or even better if you have specific experience with the Eastons. Thanks!
