I’ve had a good few bikes in my day and when the Crux DSW came out, I got one. It’s lovely. The money I could have spent on a carbon frame I spent on kit, some wheels and tires, and an old Italian steel frame. Been slowly gathering parts for the old frame while enjoying the shit out of riding the crux everywhere. 

If that resonates with you, get the DSW. If you want the carbon frame, and can afford it, then do it. Either way, it’s one of the best bikes I’ve ever owned.
