You need to test ride both and judge for yourself.
Also, are carbon frames as durable?
Yes.
I heard the life of a carbon frame isnt that long lasting. I want a frame i can keep for a long time...
What you heard was FUD. Carbon frames can last a long time. So can steel, aluminum and titanium frames. They all can break too under the right circumstances.
