Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread. That said, I don't consider a curved top tube to make any difference in whether it rides like / not like a Hillborne. Price point is a differentiator but also kind of a separate consideration, especially since Sam wasn't a super expensive frame (by Riv standards) to start. I'd love to see more Clem-level priced bikes from Riv though! I've been wanting a Clem H for commuting but being squarely between two very far-apart sizes has been a detractor.
