Congratulations on your bike and the fact you like it is all that matters. I looked at those as well, but the one thing you saw that I did is the difference in the ride between Ti and Carbon. I personally thought that Ti was a much more livelier ride.
Enjoy your bike and just ride. One thing about it when you get into the mid to high range road bikes they are all good it just boils down to preference. I hear everyone is riding Litespeed or Trek, well if they weren't good bikes nobody would be riding them.
