I had spoken to Carl a few years back. The impression he gave me was he liked steel and Ti, but saw little advantage of stainless over Ti in terms of cost or weight. If I were building with Carl, I would go with his recommendation. I agree also that the value is in a used Ti frame. Used Eriksen's I have seen and sold on this board are amazing values.
My personal preference in steel are for Pegs and Speedvagens. Campy EPS might look better on an SV, and Pegs require a healthy wait, but I don't remember many people saying how they are unhappy with their Pegoretti's. I think Sacha White has been doing an amazing job with his fit tours and attention to fit as well as frame construction. Sacha is also offering Enve 1.0 forks and carbon seat tubes to get performance and weight closer to carbon frames. Have a great time choosing your builder and material.
