My opinion as well.$1500 might not even buy a “fancy grade” blank and duplication, let alone the metalworks to bed down into it.
When I’m looking for a pretty stick, Macon is where I find it.
Actually, that's laser "carving" and doesn't do anything for me, I'd much rather pay for higher grade lumber...I would also suggest hitting the used areas of gun stores or gun shows. I picked up an older tikka with better than average stock with some great engraving. Plenty fancy for me.

Weatherby Sporter about $700 beautiful walnut stock.
The used racks are a good place to look if you don't mind a gun that isn't new. Here are a couple of left hand Savages I picked up with nice wood. The .243 is well figured walnut while the .30-06 is straight grained:
