I just got back from a ride on my Ti CJ and it is really a great bike. For me, if I were to order one today, I would get the same thing. I don't see the need for carbon stays or tubes on this bike. My other bike is carbon so I guess I get that fix when I ride it. For overall longterm reliablity it is hard to beat an all Ti bike. I think IF could make it ride the way you want but be sure that you truely know what you want. I'll try to take a picture and add it sometime later today.
