I don't really like it. Looks really high at the front almost like a £1000 Cannondale synapse.
Bikes are silly at the moment and with the demand outstripping supply for the near future it'll probabaly stay that way.
Shortages of shimano parts has meant microshift gears on low end mountain bikes so watch this space for shortages of road parts.
Rockshox or fox are 250 days to supply forks to OEMs so that might hold up production for higher end mtbs even if they can make frames.
I can't see why you'd spend more than £3-4k on a bike unless its pocket change. Used to get a Felt F1 frame for £1650 down to £1300 or so. Top end frame you're looking at double that and then some for boutique brands.
