steel or carbon?

Looking to setup a CX bike and I have been on ebay searching for a frame for a month or so. I'm finding out that most if not all the carbon frames are priced beyond my budget $500 for a frame. Not sure why all the CX frames are more than road frames, but I may have to consider non carbon. Outside of the obvious weight advantage of carbon are there any other disadvantages of non carbon? Also i'm about 210 so not the lightest rider in the pack.
