    I had the carbon levers on one bike, they were ok but after a while you could notice more play in the lever than the alloy ones. IMHO I would not bother with them again.

    Doubt it would be much if any difference in weight. IIRC hope once said that they only make carbon levers because many buyers thought carbon = better(even though they could actually make alu levers both stronger and lighter).
