Build or Buy

Hey everybody,

I am either going to build up a Flyte SR3 or buy a Motobecane Le Champion SL

For the Flyte build:
Flyte SR3 frame-$150
Campagnolo Veloce 10 spd group-$300
XERO lite XR-1 wheels-$180
Reynolds OUZO fork-$100
Tires, saddle, etc..-~$115
Total build cost~$845

Or I can buy the Le Champion SL for $1300.

Which would you take, any rough estimates on teh weight of the Flyte fully built?

I like the weight, specs, adn componetty of the Motobecane but with all the haters on here and mixed reviews Im not sure. Either way I should end up with a sweet bike, but which would you choose?

Thanks,
Chris
