Cryptkeeper:
15.25' Chainstays
-25mm BB drop
69.5 degree head angle

Vimana:
14.3-15.8 (adjustable) Chainstays
Probably around -23mm bb drop (rough estimate based on info from site)
68 degree head angle

So, the Vimana has shorter chainstays and a tiny bit higher BB which will make the bike easier to throw around and manual, but the Vimana has a little bit slacker headtube angle which will allow more stability. The Cryptkeeper would turn more sharply.
Get a Vimana if you have the money. Highly doubt you'll regret it and I've heard that the frame is ridiculously strong for aluminium.
EDIT: It's not going to feel any different from having squared tubing and round tubing. They do that for the structural integrity of the aluminium. Also, round tubing is only typical on most steel frames.
Thank you for the post!!
I think ill end up building the vimana, coming from the BLT's 0mm BB drop im going to want something similar to manual and throw around. (dont quote me on this) but i think that the new prices are around 500 for the normal paint and 650 for the higher end paint job. Plus the Vimana looks way cooler Razz .

Get the anodized frame for the extra 100$ if you do. Probably last much longer than the powder coat and won't chip. Plus anodized parts just look amazing IMO. Who doesn't like shiny?! Beer

Emailed Morpheus a month back and they told me $700 and $800.

id say morpheus because deity puts more effort into their components and morpheus only makes bikes

your reasoning sounds so off , deity tests there frames 10x to the degreee of any other company and they dont put anything out on the market until there 120% confident in it

WAT?..
They do put more effort into their components because Morpheus only makes frames. But Deity only makes bikes too? Not like they're producing microwaves.
