You are right though...it depends. (Perfect fighter pilot answer, by the way.)

First four went fine- each one better than the previous one, no "fatal flaws". Each one had a different way of joining the drops and seatstays (just to see what I liked) and subtle geometry changes (mostly BB height and head angle, again, just to see) and I rode them for about 2,000 miles each.
When I started, there wasn't much info out there beyond the phred list, but it was enough. Now, there are tons of forums, blogs, and flickr sites...get to reading!
