Not really on a budget, but probably won't spring for full custom.

Not a big fan, besides I have a couple of sets of Dura Ace 9 speed shifters on hand.

I saw those. Geometry seemed a little strange. How do you like yours? The price is definitely right.
Just stumbled across the Soma Smoothie. Love the white and black color scheme. I've got a black Sram Apex crank, black brakes & levers & black bars & stem laying around. If I can dig up a black rear deraileur I think it would look pretty sharp. I have a set of Ultegra hubs as well. Maybe lace them up to black rims with black spokes....
