Chainlove had a similar pair of Giros from their new road collection marked down from $150 to $50 yesterday and I would have bought them had they not been too small.

I highly recommend giving laces a shot. I have two pair of the giro empires - a road set and a mtb set, both are awesome. Easily my favorite cycling shoe.
Do most people on here just not cut their steerer because of resale or what? I notice that alot. I'd go insane with that amount of steerer/spacers sticking out. Or is it compensating for a slightly too small bike? I'd flip that stem too. That way always looks like a "comfort bike" to me...
I hear ya! Both of my road bikes are slammed, my fixed has 20mm of spacers, and my mtb has 30mm. I usually give it a few months of riding when I get a new bike and adjust things accordingly. I do think a lot of it is for resale...others are afraid to make the cut. I'm sure others have fit issues, but that opus has about 6" of spacer stack, you could definitely cut that down a bit.
