I agree on points, but - again barring something extraordinary coming to the surface (and I did enjoy Carter's biography), additional biographies, especially lately are only putting a different spin to already known information.

Tolkien & the Great War is a major work, & sheds important new light on Tolkien's creation, & on the man himself & his early motivations.
This sample entry from the forthcoming Tolkien Encyclopedia has more information on Tolkien &WWI than Carpenter's Biography.
