Depending on a team's resources and processes, the $100-150 or so you sacrifice by keeping your options open could be worth it. We don't even know what the available frames look like yet. So it might not be a bad decision to opt out of the kitbot and then turn around and buy it anyway.

Another thing to consider is that if your team decides to run AndyMark 2 speed gearboxes on an AndyMark frame, or any non-kit gearbox, your out of pocket spending will likely be about the same whether you go with the voucher or not. You can buy the 2014 kit frame parts minus gearboxes for approximately the value of the $450 voucher.
