Regardless of budget, unless you're a very experience rider no thanks on carbon frames. One crash with the bike landing wrong, top tube clips a rock and a relatively minor crash turns into a destroyed frame. Carbon is delicate stuff, stick to aluminum.

I rented the session, demo, and knolly at whistler. None being carbon but I liked the session the best by far. That being said they were rentals.

If your buying new then warranty will sort you out on that front.
