All in all, they have a very good (classical) engineering and an effective management (compared to old industry). And I shall not forget the production/quality_control!
Now show me the reusability of that booster, and I am totally blown off.
That’s the thing to watch - how long between flights with refurbishment.
SpaceX now has Falcon 9 turnaround times down to 9 days*, the aim for the Starship Heavy Booster is same day turnaround.

They do seem to have a niche market though. Falcon has the satellite LEO market sewn up - around 99% reliability, fast turn around and small enough to put pylons into designated orbits from equatorial to polar. Starship will replace Falcon Heavy (the same niche as Glenn) and offer far lower costs per ton for heavy payloads.
