I got the Steamroller from BLB, and although I am very happy with the bike, I could have done better elsewhere.
I got an OTP because I have no patience whatsoever, but it's a price to pay there as well. People here on the forum know what they're talking about - it makes sense to get parts here and there and a frame there and a saddle from somewhere else - if you can wait, you can save a fair bit of money. If you need a quick fix (damn, no pun intended), you have to pay.
I never regretted my OTP, I have to say.
