It obviously has it's place and limitations. Although I think another one of the key benefits of CF (where applicable/useful) is the ability to "tune" the modulus (and resulting end-product characteristics, harmonics, etc.) simply by altering the pattern/weave, orientation/lay-up, and epoxy type/content/saturation/etc. used. Pretty versatile stuff it would seem...
