It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Ride1Up makes very similar "stealth" bikes for less. Their cheapest is $1000 (I think it's actually on sale for $900 today) but it has cheaper parts. The nicer "gravel" variant is $1350 and it has nicer parts like a Gates belt drive.

But this one looks to be a couple of pounds lighter, and has a bit more range. So it might be worth the extra $150.
