So I explained along with the person who was trying to help us and her response was... "I don't see much of a difference and I like the price on the 4.7 better." Oh boy... I have a strong feeling, but don't wanna jinx myself, that I may get my bike sometime this year. I think I'll be happy even if I ended up with the 4.7, but I really want the 5.2 and it will give me an option on an H3 Fit.
If you can swing the 5.2 definitely go for it, you get nicer wheels and and upgrade in carbon for $400. I would think about possibly holding off on the H3 fit, that is a super relaxed geometry that is really similar to the lower end WSD models.
