Carbon: All, some or none?

Looking ahead to my next bike, I am undecided on this question. Partially because I don't know the dynamics of all carbon, some or none. Currently I ride a Marin Argenta (Tiagra components) and am looking to upgrade. While trying to stay within the $1500 or less category (give or take) I have looked at Trek and Specialized. Both are 105 and or Ultegra components. I'm also very open to any other ideas as I'm still in the looking stage.

I think this would be a natural step up. But I am looking for opinions from those who have more experience with either. I put on about 100 miles a week right now.

Lastly the TREK dealer claims to have to best in modern day carbon fiber. Is there that much difference or is this just a sales pitch? Thanks for any insight on this one.
