This thread reminds me of the threads on the cycling forums - "any thoughts on this Chinese carbon frame?". And like the bikes, I think there are three basic options:
1. Huge mainstream manufacturer - typically very good quality, great R&D... not too original
2. Small, local, US-made - by a "craftsman" one at a time, often made-to-order
3. Chinese knock-offs - looks like one of the above, has the quality of neither, but hey - it's cheap
