I would consider custom carbon, but honestly I am not certain it is a good value. Plus I am thrifty.
I WILL get a new bike sometime in the next few years, but I may just get a budget custom steel or Ti frame.
p.s. Enve apparently has molds for front and rear triangles and can use these for a semi-custom build. That's also an option but price is similar to above.
That's probably what I'd do in your shoes.
