I love the inventiveness and passion it takes to get something like this from your brain to paper/CAD to a prototype and a production product. It's a truly amazing feat. But, paying top dollar to get a proprietary product from a small company is a big risk and the pay off has to be significant vs. the more mainstream product options.
I'd rather ride the 70% - 80% solution, but pay half as much and be able to walk into any LBS on a road trip with a bike needing service and most times walking out with a bike that's fixed.
