I have a similarly-spec'd System76 Oryx Pro that cost less than half. No soldered DIMM's either :)

You really don't though? The top of the line comprable configuration has a significantly worse display, 75% of the SSD storage (that's also significantly slower), a worse graphics card and costs ~$4700.

Not saying it completely makes up for difference in price - but there is no way I'm buying a new laptop with 1080p screen

According to the System76 site, they charge $1798 just for the SSD.

How is the trackpad on there?

I bought a thinkpad since at least the keyboard is as good as my mbp 2012 but the trackpad is horrible.
