Agreee. Check out several LBS's to see what they have.
Also, since you know what fits and have some experience, check out the CL bike ads in your area. You might find a really nice bike that fits your budget, is only a few years old but cost $2500-$3500 when new.
Where do you live? That might help people recommend LBS's or CL bikes.
