More or less. The Fezzari was being blown out for $1999US at the time I started in on this, and prices have climbed since then. The current Blizzard Alloy 10 lists on Rocky's site for $1899US and while Deore is probably a better quality than SRAM SX, it's a 10 speed setup, so not as receptive to upgrade-itis. The screaming deal would be last year's Blizzard 10, on sale for $1299 (which is a screamer of a deal), or last year's Blizzard Carbon 30 for $2159.
