Great framebuilder != great engineer
Mike Burrows is a great engineer, but I doubt that he could make an NJS frame as beautiful as a Yamaguchi. Different skills, innit? If you want something well made from a stock tubeset in a conventional geometry, you want a framebuilder. If you want to completely reinvent the bicycle frame in line with a rigorous analysis of the loadings, you need an engineer.
