Not in my opinion, given that we all have a "good" (repairable) frame, and it wouldn't cost £2k to get it re-done (even if you sent it to Ed!). But if you look at the first post in this very thread you'll see John D wanted £3k for it, so given that it sold so quickly that time we can assume that the current seller paid close to that for it. Bear in mind you'll be left with a spare frame, and they are pretty rare.
I know Mervyn is planning on selling stainless frames soon-ish. No idea how much they'll be though.
