Carbon frames and mud clearance

Hi all, I'm in the market for a new carbon frame, learnt the hard way this year with my CX9 (which I loved in every other way) that rear mud clearance particularly at the bottom bracket / chainstay junction is key (CX9 has a bridge there). It just got clogged every week in the mud. I run 34 Rhinos so need a LOT of room. I've been looking at Ridley, Milani, Colnago, Kinsesis.....anyone any views or other suggestions?

Stevens Carbon 'cross bike has excellent mud clearance. The chainstays are beefed up a bit so that they can extend all the way to the seat tube/bottom bracket junction. The usual single, solid piece of carbon isn't there. Nothing for mud to collect on.
