But the OCLV warranty is lifetime. I picked my Tetra over a 5200, but probability of failure on that frame is just not high - more failures than others because way more out there (OCLV 120 in particular). Trek is a comfortable ride, but I liked the lively quality of the Tetra better.
As to the original question, now that I have a bike of every material I will probably only buy carbon from now on. I recently received an Orbea Orca frame which I will build up soon. The Leonardo frame I held at the LBS had the deepest clear coat I have ever seen and the checkerboard carbon looked suspiciously like the Ferrari carbon in the C-50, which would also be on my list as would a Parlee, and that would be it. The Guru was just reviewed in Procycling, I believe, and he was not overwhelmed, plus it looked like a Tetra copy to me - go American and get a great paint job with a Tetra.
