It's just that those are the only two carbon bikes I've owned, so they're my only reference points. That's why I'm saying we shouldn't generalize about the material.

Agreed. You mentioned that you are working out the fit. Try this. Drop the saddle about 1cm and move it forward about the same. This will put you more on the hoods and provide more input to the steering. 1cm may be way too much, you'll have to experiment. It's how I set up my CX bike for a road position.
