If you only have one bike, it may make sense to have a backup bike that is similar to the one that you currently ride. Since you like your current bike somethings are easier, type of frame and size.
As others have stated building your own bike is more expensive unless you have a lot of spare parts that you can reuse, that's what I have, a large parts collection.
