I intepret your answer as n+1, meaning you are thinking about a new bike cuz... new bikes are fun and different. That's cool I think a lot of peeps here will get that but even if your wallet is overflowing if your unsure about your current bike fitting you right you should delay gratification until you have a better idea what size you need.

Are you currently on some kind of track drops? The positions that people find optimal for track are not the same as road and it stretches you out more - you might in the end ( even if you are an experienced road rider ) find that you want a longer bike than you first think is right. Sometimes it takes years to really figure out what proportions work best for you - you might play around with a longer stem or a handlebar with more reach first. If you are really itching for an upgrade - maybe hire a professional bike fitter (that has experience fitting for track racing). It sounds pricey and hard to justify at first but compared to buying multiple bikes or frames to figure it out it isn't.

if your flying into the states soon and will be somewhere that you can find said fitter maybe that's your best bet - you can ask the experienced track racers on here about finding one if this idea appeals to you.
