Also check out:http://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-sizing.html. You'll be glad you educated yourself on this stuff before you purchase. Online calculators are a good place to start but you are gonna want to suplement what they spit out with test rides and more research on proper fit.
I tested a 54cm Specalized Allez. Liked the way it felt a lot, but they seems to have lower end components for the same money. I haven't ruled it out completely, but I'm bothered by the lower end components. I'm wondering were the extra money is going if it's not in the drivetrain.
