Riding Dolan the beast (Seta) or the domesticated (FXE)?

I need a new frame for my hand build OpenPro/Sapin/Token wheels and full carbon peripherals. I ride everyday 30 miles to work and longer 50-60 miles on weekends with every weather condition. At work the bike is parked in a secure garage and at home in the corner of my living room next to my sofa!!
Shall I go for the Dolan FXE alu frame or raise the standards to Dolan Seta carbon frame. My concerns are two, reliability and comfort.
Reliability: Will the Seta carbon frame cope with the everyday race to work and the bad weather elements or the FXE will be more durable?
Comfort: Will the Seta be more comfortable that the FXE in absorbing road buzz?

Both frames would be 'reliable' - although as inert objects with no moving parts, I don't know what could go wrong with them anyway. Comfort will depend mainly on fit and tyre choice/pressure. The frames are obviously significantly different in price, so let your budget decide.0
