What I would like to know is what all I need to be watching the sales for in order to convert to a disc brake up front. This won't be an immediate conversion, but will acquire the parts as finances allow.

If you want disk then buy it disk to start with. The alternative is to keep you eyes peeled for an '04 Sirrus disk in your size on the used market. Of course the '04 has a back a$$wards rear brake mount compared to the '11 but the geometry is more road bike than the current incarnation.
