Worth $1400 CND ?

I always planned to get a second tubeless carbon knobby tire wheelset for my Checkpoint with the identical SRAM driver, cassette and rotor to make swaps seamless.

The quote for carbon is $1400 more than the alloy. I am feeling a bit of a pinch on my bike spending after purchasing 5 bikes since March ( 2 for me and 3 for family members)

Trying to get a sense of the added benefits of carbon wheels and if I will even really notice a difference on trails. These are mainly hardpack dirt trails with minor obstacles (rocks, roots) nothing hardcore. Just cottage-type dirt roads and trails around a lake with limited gravel but gravel is not my thing so mostly dirt and road.

I can swing the carbon but would likely wait, while the alloy I could spring for now.

Add $1400 for a We Are One Carbon Revive wheelset over the alloy shown in the quote.
