Custom E-MTB build questions

I am planning a custom build for a emtb and have some questions.

The frame is a Light Carbon LCE28 that fits the Bafang m620. I was quoted $1033 USD shipped for unpainted. Seemed a bit high? I was expecting 700$ or so.

Is the 620 the best, current and most powerful mid drive motor available? I haven’t seen the 630 for sale anywhere, and I hear that it isn’t reliable. Is that true ? Or should I be looking for that motor instead? Would it still fit that frame? Should I be looking for UART or Canbus for the 620/630 motor? I know UART can be programmed more easily, but canbus is newer? I don’t need to tinker too much with programming but I’d like to unlock the top speed and maybe adjust power assist levels. What are good prices for these motors and where can they be found? I would be shipping to California.

Thanks for any help.
