Decide what's more important, I guess. Riding a bike now(ish)? Then get one of the readily available pre-builts. The Maze looks perfectly serviceable.

If you don't mind waiting til October, then wait for the bike you want more - the Fuji- or buy the best frame you can afford (whether or not its a Leader- dont know much about them, but I think i remeber their earlier rep to be a cheaper option. If they changed or improved, I'm sure others know better)and still be able to kit it out with cheap parts. They will all wear at different rates, so you can just upgrade as needed what's worn out and replace what you like as you can. A cheap stem or headset will last far longer than cheap cranks or pedals, but sometimes you just gotta switch that stem out.

Hope that helps.
