Don't listen to these schmucks. Save your money and simply upgrade your AL bike. Build some arm and ab muscles to make up for the road. Your butt will improve as well. It's not worth it. Ride harder and focus on your stroke. The ride quality will disappear from your mind.

Got a carbon in addition to a fairly high-end aluminum/carbon mix. The carbon is lighter, which helps climbing. Other than that, not much difference except on fairly rough pavement. Of course, I have different wheels & tires on the two, which may make more difference than the frame.
