Deacon, I highly recommend you give the ENO a go on your fixed gear hillybike. As a fellow Riv connoisseur who is extremely loyal I would hate for you to spend $1100 to upgrade a stock frame. I have bought 4 new Riv bikes for family members and have purchased 5 used ones to accommodate my 99.5 PBH.
Go with the first option. I will buy your rear ENO wheel for whatever it costs you, if it does not completely meet your needs and desires. Seriously. Win Win for us both; any outlay you have for the experiment can be applied to the dropout replacement if necessary. I am on a fixed budget and frugal but happy to help Rivendell both directly and indirectly as much as possible. The joy I get from following you and your bike exploits vicariously almost matches my own riding and wrenching.
