The Yarak isn't too bad it is around 2k and for a MUSA Titanium bike that isn't just Lynskey or Lightspeed is pretty damn good. This isn't some bargain basement builder either this is someone who has been in the industry for a long time and does a lot with more than just bikes. Dave is a nice guy and make some excellent parts.
If you can save up a little money I would go for it. If you are worried about scratches and damage and things like that titanium is hard to beat. Go for and achieve your dreams. I plan on doing it maybe not this year but probably next year (I just made my big bike purchase this year and it is a dooooooozy and I am financing it so I can afford it but it is a big big big purchase and probably won't need anything else this year)
