How did you jump from a properly installed integrated headset to needing to face the downtube? That part about machining was a big "if" that so far, as far as I can tell, isn't even close to reality. Seems most (all?) people have used their integrated headsets and forgotten about them. Difference is their head tubes look the way they like and they didn't pay an extra $100 for something they didn't need or want.
