I hear you, I'm a Clydesdale and put a hurtin on the poor Madone's Carbon Fiber frame every time I ride the poor girl.
One thing I did find surprising a few years back when I bought the pictured bike to replace a worn out Trek 1000 (Discovery Series) was the improvement in ride and a very noticeable drop in like route times, there is a difference.
There's something about the simplicity and directness of a well made road bike, aluminum / CF / titanium framed, doesn't matter, weird but I just love staring at them. Cruise JD's website if you want to see some truly beautiful machinery.
