Have you had a professional bike fitting using Retul or something of that caliber? Possible that you could fix some of your fit issues with a new set of bars and\or a shorter stem? Assuming the size could be a reach issue, but I had a bike I thought was too large for me, and then I replaced the stem and got a set of compact bars that reduced the reach by 2cm and it made a world of difference. I put almost 10K miles on that bike after that before I sold it. All total, the cost between the fitting, bars and stem, was less than $400. I really like the bike, so did what I could to make it fit, before I went down the replacement mode.
Just something to think about.

you should learn to embrace change, and mock it's failings every step of the way.
