Looks great, I was never a framework believer because it was so overpriced (to an extent it still is), but this sounds way better and might actually be a good deal. Aside from the specs bump, they fixed almost all of the issues with the older frameworks (CEO talks more about it in this video).
Better build quality and less flex, better screen, better speakers, and a better touchpad. The biggest issue I heard about it was that it felt a bit cheap and wobbly because of all the moving parts, but if they manage to fix that, I might actually get it some day.

It is expensive to “get in” but once you’re in you don’t have to buy a new laptop, you can just replace chassis/mainboards as you go.

Personally I have never had an issue with the build quality. I think that's more of a reviewer gripe than a real world issue. They occasionally have great sales too. I've seen prebuilds for $650 with previous gen boards. With the pro launch I wouldn't be surprised to see prices for the older models drop over the next month or two.
