Road bike = drop bars, you don't seem to want to do that, so not really sure what the question really is (far too much info up there, and very confusing)

From how I'm reading it, your looking to either get an endurance road bike or keep your current DB Trace, get CF forks and riser stem and not sure what else (saddles are personal, and you may want to change on any bike)

Your commute is short, and any bike should be able to do it, do you carry anything, need fenders (probably not in CA) racks etc can the endurance bike do the same as the DB Trace.

For the forks, getting good CF disc forks may be expensive (your current bike has discs) can you fit these /any parts or will you be paying a shop to do this.

For the tires, why smaller? it comes stock with 45mm's which will be far more comfortable to ride with than 32mm's and droppign the size that much will change the handling of the bike a bit. There are good fast rolling 45mms avaliablefor future replacement.
