Buy the bike you really want. The Moots will last a lifetime and retain a good chunk of it's original value. They have 35 years behind them and from what I hear, have some of the best customer support in the industry. There are plenty of other options like Firefly, Stinner, Sage, Mosaic, Eriksen, etc. I have the Vamoots RSL and have to say that it's pretty cool knowing I have one of the best titanium bikes out there.
