Default So NO on the Cinelli Super Corsa!! What about a Ritchey Road Logic...or Richard Sachs??

After the quite active discussion on the Cinelli Super Corsa, I've decided this
isn't the one for me. I do appreciate your collective opinions...I really do.

What about the Ritchey Road Logic? I know it's not lugged; it's either TIG
welded or fillet brazed (by Tom himself, I understand, if you want to spring
for the extra cost).
I sure do love the blue with white panels that appears to be a standard paint
scheme. I'm inclined to think it's a decent design, what with Tom being around
the block on a road bike a few times himself. I've owned a number of Ritchey
Logic parts (pedals, bars, stems, etc.) over the years and have been very
pleased with them. They've given me good value, low weight, and what I would
consider decent design. I'm aware that they're all sourced out of Taiwan, but
appear to be good quality nonetheless.

The Road Logic seems available at $900-$1000; a LBS has one for $999 in stock
that's my size, though in a God-awful yellow/white--guy says he'd order the
blue/white and could have it in 7 days.

Maybe this price is now getting close enough to a custom frame price that I
should consider that.

I do dearly love the Richard Sachs frames I've seen (all two of them), but am a
little scared of the $2500+ I understand they run and the 9-12 month wait-time
I was told they require. I remember a wonderful red/white Sachs I rode beside
for a number of miles during a mid-80's Markleeville Death Ride. That was a
real head-turner frame.

I'm not in a terrible rush, but waiting a year for a Sachs seems a little too
long.

Your thoughts?

Thanks much...
