I have seen both models up close and they're very nice. They were on display at the COG magazine show in Tokyo a couple weeks ago. I am also currently riding a set of their integrated flat bars, which are also very nice.
Disclaimer: I am involved with COG magazine, and am not without positive bias toward Focale44. However, if I thought the bikes sucked I would say so. Period. I looked them over thoroughly and also took one for a spin and I have nothing but good things to say about them.
