Yes, I got the one with the touch screen, but if I had to do it over I'd have gotten the non-touch version with a matte screen. Touch screens are just too reflective. The touch screen actually works fine, but gnome treats it like a mouse. It doesn't bother me, but might bother people who expect all the gestures you get with Windows.

Carbon fiber only seems flimsy when you've never had a notebook made of it before. It does have a little flex in the screen, but not much. The flex isn't a bad thing, mind you. I've had several carbon fiber laptops and the flex helps them bounce when they're dropped and can help prevent damage if something stupid happens like someone reclining their airline seat into your screen in just the wrong way.

The other benefit is that the laptop is seriously light. The 13" Air feels pretty heavy in comparison.
