I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that they went with the carbon forks mainly because they couldn't find anyone good enough in Taiwan to make them in steel.

I do like the horazontal top tube.

In terms of quill vs headset, the modern design is far simpler, lighter and stiffer plus you don't get the joy of having a stuck stem. Putting an stem expander inside a carbon fork steerer isn't a good idea either.
