Carbon vs. AL wheels
 
What are some of the advantages/disadvantages of carbon wheels over aluminum? Are they more difficult to maintain, more easily susceptible to damage, more 'supple' and vibration dampening? I'm contemplating getting a set of Easton EC70's to replace my EA70's, and just want some opinion or experience with carbon wheels or even better if you have specific experience with the Eastons. Thanks!

Carbon wheels are lighter, and if they have a carbon braking track, don't brake as well, espectially in wet weather,
