Default rebuilt my aluminium bike in carbon?

Hi,
I am considering upgrading my Aluminium Giant TCR (Campa Daytona components) with a carbon frame. Is there any advantage sticking to a Giant (carbon) frame? Any other hints and experiences are welcome too!
thanks,

Well, Look up four threads in the bike cafe. That fellow said that his carbon seat post broke and he isn't a fatty...so maybe a frame isnt a good plan...lol jk jk good luck

Why would you want to do this? Because carbon is more popular these days? Do you feel that your bike is not comfortable enough? Or just because you have some money burning a hole in your pocket?
