I went through the same decision back in 2012. Lynskey won because:

1) My vanity wanted Lynskey on the tubes more than MB
2) They were FAR more responsive to my pre-sale questions
3) if memory serves me right, the build time for Lynskey was 6-8 weeks. BD was out of stock until the next years bikes showed up on the boat. It was a long time ago, so I may be off on this one.

I love my R230. If I were to be buying now, knowing what I know, it would still be a tough call. It's nice to get upgraded components for less money. I think I'd still buy the Lynskey again, though!
