SLX is just SL with ribs at the butt regions, I would not worry THAT much. I do ride any bike I own, even lock them up, I do care about where I lock them up and do it strategically though.

A BF member had his Cinelli repaired and repainted by them and I think he was quite happy. Others here have their bikes.
It is ALWAYS better to do a paint transaction face to face. I can state this from experience.
