Still dreaming of that bike? For someone new to SS or Fixed, it's best not to spend the money until you know that you will like it. I'd buy crap components out of the parts bin at the LBS, put them on the frame I just stripped, and try it. If I liked it, look for better components to put on the frame, then save up to swap the frame.
Your advice is correct if it's someone building up a bike like the other ones they have ridden. If you already ride SS, then stick with what you have and wait and get the better stuff. But if it's exploring new territory, it makes no sence to save the money, then find out that you hate it...
