Don't mind waiting if his order book is filling up, can't rush craftsmanship, and if Matt is getting busier, fookin brilliant, another English artisan with a viable business and product.
As for fit/aesthetic if a bike feels/looks right with an inline then use that, fore/aft adjustments can be made by moving a saddle, really rather simple. And I agree the Thomson lay back posts look shit.
When I have a frame built it will quite possibly be my last bike, the good lady seems to think the 3 I have now is excessive, so don't wanna push it too far. So really don't mind waiting, may have to be a black bike so it blends in with the others in the garage, and hope she doesn't notice for a while.
Happy riding, your build has influenced my decision. Enjoy.
