Why do you need a track bike? Source a vintage Fuji frame, there are tons out there and turn it into a fixed-gear. Unless you're doing some very specific riding, I don't know that you'd need one.
Sometimes I think bike shops sell people bikes they don't need, ie. the guy with the $5000 Madone that never races and has a beer gut.
If you're not a track racer and rolling at the velodrome, why bother?
It's track bikes are just "hot" right now.
Get a stellar fixie, bling it out with some color and call it good.
Track geometry is uncomfortable for daily riding and commuting, if it's going to be your "primary bike" I'd look at other options. (Edit: now that I look at the photos, it's not really track-geometry, per se. So, if it feels comfortable - I guess go for it.)
