Easy solution is to get the 5.2 except it's $500 more! The other issue is if Trek won't build it with a 53/39 and I have to get the compact gearing, I'd probably have to work something out with my LBS to put on the 53/39 without having to buy the new set. If I had to do that, I may as well go with the 5.2. However, if it's an easy swap, then I think they'd be more willing to do it for me.
Swapping parts out is probably something your LBS will do - they will more than likely be able to offer you trade-in credit towards the non compact crankset. Nothing else needs to change on that bike.

The 6700/6750 should retail for approximately the same amount.
