From day one I've seen some of them proclaim that the only way to get a decent bike is to throw money at the problem. Maybe it's a middle-class, 'people with too much disposable income/savings' kinda mentality.

Atom, I don't think Keyven's comment was directed toward you, rather to posts that were criticizing your choice without any first hand knowledge on their part.
FWIW, I also have disposable income; and bikes are one of the few things I spend it freely on. But not everyone is upper middle class, or if they are, they don't suffer from consumeritis. For that reason, threads like this are valuable.
