It's all true. That's why when I was big into road racing, I raced on an alloy frame. And CF wheels, i wouldn't do just because of the compromised braking. It doesn't bother some ppl though. IMO if one was to upgrade some wheels, you want the full benefit of all performance boosts: aero, weight and braking.
But man, alloy is mostly no comparison to a proper cf rig. Dat power transfer.
