Above anything else? I'd like to build my own frame from Reynolds 953 stainless, then clear coat it. Realistically, I'd like to own a Canadian-made steel Marinoni. Nothing very exotic, but it mean something to me that it was made in Canada by a master builder.

I'd love a Hetchins or Mercian. I'd like a Mercx as well
I guess I'll just have to stop eating and start saving more.

I do own my favorite, tried Cervelo and decided on.....
Look 595 Ultra, the integrated seatpost was the selling feature for me. Bike is stiff and rides like a Lexus. At 220lbs I seemed to flex the least.
I am still fine tuning the setup.

too fat to climb, too slow to sprint, too old to rock 'n' roll, too young to die
Great signature!

There's a bunch i want... But i'm settled on getting a TT/Tri bike next. Probably something from litespeed, QRoo, or even Felt. However if i find a Softride i'm going to buy it.

Brand is unimportant. It is all about the specific model that will have the right ratio of cost vs features that I'm looking for.
And right now that'd be Cervelo Soloist Team (Aluminum). It is a tremendous bike for $2000. I'd just replace the wheels on it at some point. Don't we all do that to every bike?

The big ones for me are(more or less in order): De Rosa, Richard Sachs, Cinelli, Merckx, and Pinarello. I've got the Cinelli and the Pinarello.
