Robert: i've never ridden ti but i can tell there is a pretty big difference in both my cf bikes. That is only talking about comfort, handling and stiffness.

I mean, i can, but very little.
Yeah, the wheel feel thing is another whole area of ??? So far the most obvious difference I ever noticed between 50 mm carbon rims and shallow aluminum rims both built up identically was the noise amplification of the carbon. I'm not saying they two type wheels felt the same, just that I could never get to paying attention to feel. The noise difference (for the short time I kept the carbon wheels) was so intrusive.
