I hear you about disc brakes as this is the bike I currently have ( https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/escape-2-disc-city ). I love how responsive the breaks are and I don't have to worry about the intermittent squeaking noises that crops up whenever there's moisture around with rim brakes.

The only commuter carbon gear bike with disc brakes I know about is this ( https://www.prioritybicycles.com/products/continuumonyx ). I don't know if I'm ready to spend over a thousand dollars for a commuter bike, as stellar as that bike looks.
