If you want it and can afford it, no reason to feel any sort of remorse. YOLO.

Moots welds are ARTWORK

My ‘99 Merckx (Litespeed) titanium has the most beautiful welds… on my MOOTS STEM that’s on it. That gives a side by side comparison of the two companies’ titanium welds.

Your mileage may vary (or opinion!) but IMO Litespeed’s welds are nowhere in the neighborhood of Moots’ welds. That being said,
I just bought another Litespeed,
unknown model with missing decals and 1”
threadless fork, meaning “vintage”. But Duuude I’d LOVE TO FIND A 55-56cm LITESPEED BLUERIDGE! I want a titanium bike with cantilevers and I have no problem with it being 20+ years old. You selling???
