In general, uniqueness not not relay to a higher value in late model bikes. In many cases of C & V, the same is true and actually can and does make the bike less valuable. If you can take your stock bike and upgrade it, and then sell it for $1400 more than you have invested in it, bike shops would already be doing that. The fact that it is " your build , your bike " most certainly does not make another person want to an extra 1400$ for it. Not being critical, I commend you for building the bike you want. All just an opinion.
