I've reduced my number of road bikes down to two - one commuter, and one "race, train, all else" bike. Hurts my knee to switch between bikes, so I keep it to a minimum.
Also agree on carbon being easy to repair. My Tarmac Pro that I race on has been repaired twice. It has almost no resale value now, making it the "ultimate" crit bike.
