I'm the guy selling this so don't just take my word for it, but imo a hand-built, hand-welded frame built by a guy like Orlwowski is always going to be a shit pile better than a similar mass-produced frame, even one made by Bianchi (who I like a lot, their early Pista frames were ace before they got all roady).
The only thing which I think might be worse about this frame is he paintjob - my old Charge had a better paintjob than the La Piovra. It's nice but nowhere near as tough, which I guess is what you get for a hand-painted frame and unique colourway, but still.
