I'm really a believer in the LBS route. You can't go wrong with having some support and service with a new bike.
Also, you're asking if the ride is "racy," so you've kind of touched on the advantage of going to a bike shop, i.e., you're able to test ride the bike you're buying. You can also get a better fit.
I can fit on some 58's, but I am now on a 56. It really depends on frame geometry.
Not trying to clutter-up your buying decision, but it's something to consider.
Good luck and happy riding.
