Totally agree! So many more exciting brands out there that make quality products, and complete bikes at much better prices that are easy to set up with custom components from factory.
Not to knock on SC, as a former brand ambassador for them I've only had good experiences with the frames. But their complete bike prices are crazy, even if i'd add all the bells, whistles, bling and all that to a Nicolai or a Last (or definitely my own Crossworx) i would struggle to reach the same prices.
For reference, my Crossworx with Fox Factory and pretty high-end components all around is about the same as an entry level SC.
