One of the biggest problems that I see with BD is that you don't have the opportunity to try the bike out beforehand. Every bike feels and rides a little bit differently, and the frame geometry is a big part of that. The best bike on paper might not be the best bike when you ride it (been there, done that, not online but thankfully with a bike that I tested out and immediately decided against, despite the specs and price being right).
