Me personally I wouldn't' do lugged stuff unless it is metal on metal lugs. If you are really looking to add carbon to the ride find someone who does ExoGrid like Holland Cycles. A pure Ti-alloy frame is going to last longer than a lugged carbon frame.
Ti lugged carbon can't be doing to bad longevity wise. Seven has been doing it since 1997.
And I don't like the idea of the exogrid style for a couple reasons. If it is glued in the full length, it won't let the carbon do its job. If it isn't glued the full length, it is an open spot for grit to get into. Unless they use a flexible adhesive, which I don't see doing in this application.
