The problem here unfortunately seems to be that our buyer has no interest in impressing the likes of us cyclists and is actually intent only on impressing the MAMIL crowd who know as little about nice bikes as buyer does... Genuinely would be was well to just leave the price tags on it when bike does arrive.
As long as you accept that all the gears are many inches then it’s good fun to punt along- just don’t take it to the Alps.
Handling wise it’s easily on par with modern stuff, but the group set is (very) obviously not up to what we now expect in terms of gear range, speed of change, and power of braking.
However- this thread would appear to be about bike jewellery and in that department the Klein scores highly.
