I think much of it is how well the frame is engineered. The Al bikes I had were really too harsh on our roads even with CF fork. My Ti bikes were actually too compliant and I felt gave up to much in the sprint or climbs. Carbon seems to be "just right" although I consider my Specialized a little too compliant. I actually liked the Giant TCR frame but because I wanted to run a triple crank this did not work. OTOH, those Orbea's are sweet.
