Well that is the plan. But I went to one of my local shops and he suggested the 50cm for performance as the 52 has a long top top, when in actuality it has a shorter top tube than my current Tricross. And since they didn't have a 50, 52 or 54 in the shop I couldn't even try any out. I was just looking to visualize it for myself using the spreadsheet.
After I hinted that I didn't want an extreme saddle to bar drop that the 50 would likely give me and that my current TT is longer than the 52 (by 2mm), he suggested a different brands 54 at about 1.5x the price of my budget.

Nice bike, good price, but not gonna happen.
