I will say that in general, in that price range, you get a lot for an extra $400. If you can afford it, it is usually very well worth it if you plan to ride it a lot (which it sounds like you are).
Thanks. I think it's a pretty big jump in quality.
I had actually considered even going to FX5 or FX6...but some things I have read leave me hesitant on carbon. I'm a bigger guy, 6'2" and 275 lbs. Obviously much less expensive (and better for my health) to drop the added weight in my body, not the bike. But I have also read alot about the ride characteristics of carbon. My test rides have been relatively short so I have limited basis for comparison.
