Here's another data point for those thinking about build times.   



For my Dad and I,  we are about ½ way through this plane project, with  no QB options.    We are well into the the Fuse kit and have the Finish kit on hand.  We've built 4 airplanes (three Glastars and one Glass Goose.) ,  so I think we are pretty far up the learning curve.   We really like to build and enjoy the whole process, 

 ( yes, even the glass work)..  We are at about 1400 hrs so far.   When complete, I expect we'll be in the 3000 hr. neighborhood...

long story,  but NO... we had it all the way thru high speed taxi tests,  airworthyness certificate in hand.   And others started having trouble with the wings coming off in flight.   After a lot of research we decided it would never be safe.   we CUT her up and took her away..   all 10 yrs worth of building time gone, but our lives in tact....   All useable hardware then went into the Glastars,  which do fly.  !! nicely.

Man, that had to be a major bummer to work on  something that long and then have to cut it up. That would really give you a bad  hair day. After reading your post I was thinking if I had to do that to my 10  that it would put me into major depression :>}
