I posted this in the BD group buy thread but basically I think you would have a winner with Tange Prestige tubing, lugs or not. Your could easily beat the closest competition, the EAI Bareknuckle and Soma Rush, by about $300. HUGE points for value conscious hipsters there.

It may also not be worth it to pay extra for the lugs because track bikes, popular as they are, have a sizable second hand market that cuts in to your profits, and at the same time (as others in this thread mentioned), lugs from Asia circa 2007 don't actually impress your target market all that much.
