I have a compact bike as well but prefer the triple 52/39/30 11-26 setup more. There is more fine tuning available gear inch-wise and shifting back and forth under load from 30 to 39 with Ultegra 6703 is not an issue. I have four gear inch ratios each for the 40's and 30's between the 39 and 30 ring and shift depending on if I want to mash or spin up a climb. Often I start in the 39 then switch to 30 near the end of a summit or thinner air at 8000'+ elevation.

No bike should cost that much......

I would never spend that kind of coin on a bike ever, but I respect it, and I covet it. If I had it, I would most likely still ride my S2 a more than anything, but save this crazy contraption for extremely hilly rides, and take it out like 5 times a year.

Exactly....
I was just roughly estimating, but....
$9800 Frameset
$7500 Wheelset
$2630 Group
$900 Stem
$1000 crankset, that is no longer available
$700 seatpost
$825 handlebars
$1200 brakes
Still need a good bit of parts to make it a complete bike, but it's at $24,555 so far.... granted it isn't a complete group so that price would be a bit different, but I was lazy, and trying to get prices fast.

You mention NJS. This company / shop used to be registered as NJS, but unfortunately decided to drop the relationship.
By the way, in my opinion there are no hubs more beautiful than an NJS Dura-Ace hub.

Put this together last spring. The Elite's will hopefully be replaced with some Williams 20's come bonus time

So what? His money and his choice.
You overestimated by about 25% roughly!
