Cube Attain - Alu or Carbon

Gess

Hi Folks

Quick question...

I'm going to buy a Cube Attain from my LBS but struggling to decide between Aluminium or Carbon. The bikes are pretty identical apart from the frame material - except the carbon is 300g lighter and £300 more expensive. It'll be my only road bike, so year-round use for long weekend runs (80-miles-ish) and commuting, although I don't commute/cycle too much in the worst of the winter (i.e. fairly fair weather cyclist).

So - is the carbon worth the extra £300??

The bikes are:

Apologies if you've already seen this - posted in RoadCC but need opinions before tomorrow if possible!!!

Thanks
