Worth the trouble?
I think that "steel vs. carbon" is the wrong issue. To me the real isue is how much, if any, modification is the old steel frame going to require? If you are delighted with the frame fit and the geometry and you don't have to deform the stays to make modern wheels fit what's the big deal?
