The CX Ray were almost 3 times the price ... the advice I got was:
The Sapim Race spokes are still a butted spoke and are at least as good as say a DT Competition spoke. The Laser is made of a higher quality steel, it is quite a bit lighter and has a higher longevity. The CX-Ray is pretty much the best spoke money can buy. They come on lots of high end road wheels now (some Zipps for example). They are aerodynamic, their longevity rating is unparalleled and their strength is extremely high - they can be used for downhill racing for example. However their premium price tag is a deterrent for some people. You may also want to consider the Sils alloy nipples upgrade.
I figured that the wheelset would be fine with Lasers, given that I wouldn't be racing let alone downhill racing. I have taken the nipple upgrade.
The threading on the sapims are superior to those on the DTs.

Here you go ...
Observer kitty.
Head tube.
Note - the camera flash does it no justice, the frame and tubes are the same colours yet they look different. Hopefully the sunshine pics will show the depth of the blue, it looks violet from some angles, the blue is like an sapphire with some red through it.

I wasn't a fan of fancy lugs, they were rarely if ever done with any real flair..... until now.
That is awesome -

Loved it, the lugs despite being quite flamboyant, look surprisingly subtle, it's awesome!

^ Indeed, surely Swiss > Belgium :|
Got to say when I first saw the frame, I thought it showed good workmanship, but really wasn't keen... I just thought it was going to be way to nahbs and showy.
BUT, with the paint and the brushed lugs it looks truly amazing. I love the strength and weight of the lugs, especially when ornate lugs tend to be exactly the opposite.
Can't wait to see the whole thing finished.

I'll agree, a good workmanship and painter would look brilliant;
her bike is definitely that, I'm amazed at how well Tom managed to pull it off with both the work and the painting, that the thought of showboatly of the NAHBS didn't even crossed my mind.
I just don't think that anything other than sunshine will do her justice.
