I currently own a Carbow "Gary Karr" model German bow and I am extremely pleased with it! I recently had a pernambucco bow break in shipping so I called up Robertson and had them send me several bows in the 700-1200 dollar range. I honestly can't remember what the other ones were, but I did not expect the carbon fiber bow to beat out similarly priced pernambucco bows. I was blown away. The bow balances extremely well and is heavy enough to use the weight of the bow, but not so heavy as to hinder my playing.
Basically, try out lots of bows, compare various models of carbon fiber to higher end pernambucco bows. I have had no experience with low end carbon fiber bows, I have heard varied reviews on different makes.
I know that CF is not the bow material of choice for everybody, but if ya haven't tried it then you'll never know!

Ryan,
Thank you for the input! And thank you to all others who responded to my question.
Is your Gary Karr model the one with the snakewood frog?
How much was it? Just round numbers I don't need the exact amount.
