Its not the ability to lock the wheels that is in question but the ability to aviod/recover from slidding. Good disc brakes are predictable and have a high level of modulation.
I'm not a fan of the posted bike. Personaly I like the look of the Santa cruz Blur and the Yet YSR, but these are around 1K for the frame alone.
Superstar components often have some nice framsets for silly money but look to be sold out for the season.
