Sounds like a lot of work went into this, but the results are worth it. Yours looks first class.
Is the carbon fiber gear a little more springy and therefore less likley to bounce you back into the air. With the alumumn gear for me at least it'll bounce me back up on those "rare" less than perfect landings, wire gear has some give to it so it'll smooth out the landing. I would hope that the CF gear gives a little.
