I've had both so I can give you some of my thoughts.
Carbon was nice because it was lighter, notably lighter (45lbs VS 51) but only when loading and unloading from the van. The battery cover on the carbon needs a strap to keep from falling off if you ride it hard VS the alloy, which has a...

Got some new goodies for the Regulator CX. New e*13 cranks and ring, new Deity bars, stem, grips, and seat collar in bronze to kinda match the cranks (not really) working on some bronze decals for the downtube n forks, and got the Powermore battery extender.
Man I can't get the the update to complete on my CX, it seems to go through the motions but fails. Uninstalled and re-installed the app a few times with no luck, guess I gotta bring it to the shop.
My CX with Zebs and Gravity casing tires, weighs 48.7 lbs,(50.3 with the extender on) my SX with 38s (bumped up to 170, heavier fork) and grav casing tires weighs 44.2 lbs. I like the SX when riding with the young, fit analog kids and brought it to the bike park last weekend. The CX is quieter...
Ok, so after a few more rides on the SX, dropping the motor twice and a moment of zen... I have been chasing what I thought was banging cables in the frame turned out to be the SX motor. Yeah it sounds just like loose cables in the frame, now that I know what's making the noise I'm "ok" with it...
