I have a rim brake Domane, so I'd say I'm not that biased against them FWIW.

I'd probably rather have a bike like the Lynskey at this point.

Your Lynskey will still be a good bike after the Domane has something wrong with it and/or you can't get a proprietary part for it.

Considering how porky disc Domanes are which bike seems faster if they both fit OK?

Rim brakes are definitely out of style right now but IMO that definitely doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them and I think for road bikes of this type the rim brake bike can definitely be faster with less maintenance and less ongoing cost.

Definitely it's also just that it's hard to sell a bike and all bikes have poor resale value. "Revolutionary" changes every model year or two doesn't help.
