Weight of disc brakes cancels out weight of carbon rims. Cost of both components is a premium vs. calipers and aluminum rims. I guess longevity of replacing a disc rotor vs a rim with a work brake track if you run heavy mileage is a consideration
For me, I'd never ride in the rain or inclement weather, so I'd never see the benefit of discs.
