Yes, I would recommend it. I have a DIY edition framework 13 with the AMD 640U) and new 2.8K display. It has been working perfectly for me with archlinux installed (even though it's not one of the recommended distros). Battery life has been decent when using power profiles daemon, but nowhere near as good as an ARM macbook. I would definitely suggest the upgraded display, as this also lands you the larger battery. The keyboard is great, trackpad is pretty good and no issues with wifi, nor bluetooth. A brighter display with wide colour gamut and higher accuracy would have been nice, but the 2.8k display is not bad at all.

That being said, it's definitely more expensive than much of the competition is for similar specs. I don't mind paying a little extra to vote with my wallet and the build quality has exceeded my expectations. I'm gambling on them supporting this chassis design for a few more generations, so I can buy the very last motherboard upgrade that they release and extend the life of this machine a little further.
