Carbon fibre is stronger for a given thickness than Aluminium. Care to suggest something that beats CF in density/strength measurements?
Thats from the technical standpoint...comparing those materials referenced....so then would not wood be the best choice? I won't go into the details of why since that has been pondered...but to answer your question JTKW I think its just another way to keep the economy flowing...new idea, a new want, a new toy....and believe you me- us spearos are gadget galore getters...ask Marwan.

I think your reasoning in part is quite sound JTKW I actually implement in all my guns a CF Belly I added 2 CF stips lamed inside the stock, but stopped, cause you really don't need it (overkill), but alot of guys insist on having it in there anyways (and are happy to pay the "whole lot more $ to have it)...which kinda proves my point.
