I think you are on the right track with seven: not only are they some of the most experienced builders in the market, they also are one of the most successful, which, fingers crossed, means they'll be around for a long time should you need support. With smaller, newer builders there's less of a guarantee.
I will say though that the evergreen's headtube looks wank and a shop owner who sells mostly sevens has said it's not his favorite of their models.
My current thinking is now:
But... will test ride me some Di2 before I commit to going Shimano. Will also want to look at the frame extras and compare stiffness and other minor things to decide on the frame.
I'm probably going to blow my budget, even with help from lovely people on here.
