Don't forget Crumpton

Another new upcoming carbon builder that you may want to look at, especially if you're in Texas, is Nick Crumpton. He was discussed on the Serotta board and recently won the "best carbon" builder at the recent hand-made bicycle show:

Craig was also there and won the "People's Choice" award for his bamboo bike.
Face it, some people don't like the look of the webbing. If that's the case, then both Parlee and Crumpton, although I never seen the latter, have excellent reputations and would appear to be equivalent to or better than a Calfee.
I agree with the other person that one factor you may want to look at is depending on where you live, you may want to consider getting the one closer to you as warranty concerns would be easier to resolve.
Of course, you could just get a Colnago C-40/50 or whatever and be done with it....
