That's a deal on the coupler cost; their catalog pricing has reflected $2,800 for adding couplers to the Titanium frames since last fall.
The weight goal sounds a bit ambitious given the components you have in mind. I would think if you came in at about the same weight as your Co-Motion you'd be doing pretty well given the large-size frame, couplers, Ouzo Pro fork, Sweet 16's, shock post, and rear disc. It's really amazing how those grams quickly add-up.
Regardless, it will be a comfortable ride and the couplers will make the frame a bit more robust feeling than a non-coupled version... Nothing you'd notice unless you rode an uncoupled and coupled version back to back with the same fork, wheels and tires.
Again, congrats and best wishes for an on-time delivery that coincides with your recovery.
