    I'd be much more likely to buy a Ti frame. If I wanted aluminum, I'd get
    a KH frame.

    I'd be buying a frame in 29" size probably, and I'd really prefer it to
    be very light. I don't and don't plan to do much hardcore muni riding,
    mostly just mild to moderate MTB/XC trails, and commuting to and from
    work. For me, I'd prefer a little less weight than a little more
    strength.

    Cost is also a big factor. I definitely will not buy a frame if it is
    anywhere near $400.

    Ideally, I'd like to spend $250-$300. Since these will be produced in
    the US, large shipping costs won't be killer.

    Just my thoughts.

    Thanks for the input but I won't have an idea on the actual cost of the
    frame until later this week. Even then it'll be a ballpark estimate.

    One more VERY important question. Do you guys want machined bearing
    holders (KH frames), or the other main cap style bearing holders(Koxx
    devil frames)?

    the koxx devil bearing holders are horrible... machined for sure.
