Maybe I should just get me a Luna.
This. You can learn how to build up a bike and, in doing so, will become a much better mechanic for it. It takes some studying about compatibility, and some adjustments at the end.

I got fed up a long time ago with stock bikes and parts that weren't right for my needs. Stock bikes are almost always cheaper, even with my shop discounts on components, but the satisfaction of having exactly what I want is worth the extra expense IMO.

Or get a Luna- I don't think you can go wrong there (I would luuuuuv to have one!)
