THere are lots of reasons to get steel but avoiding soft, squishy ride of carbon isn't one. Most carbon frames are very stiff and certainly don't feel squishy. That's why all top pros ride carbon and some sprinters keep coming back asking for greater stiffness.
The benefit of carbon fiber is it can be made to exhibit any characteristic. My carbon fiber bikes are substantially stiffer than steel.
