Well Fizz uses his Look with mudguards, so all year if you want.

For a grand a carbon bike is better than alu.

I've got an alu Ralieigh 7005 with mudguards for winter work, carbon seatpost & forks, its comfy. But not stiff or particularly harsh.

I have a Litespeed alu with full carbon forks and carbon seatstays, bit harsh over bumpy stuff, kicks in the tail for some reason, but on the smooth stuff its fast and handles well.

But when I jump on my Wilier Carbon its all day comfy, but also stiff, accelerates well, handles great. The best bike I've had so far
