Current model bikes will go on sale in August and good deals are available then. If you are still into riding and everything is going well at that time you will have a better understanding as to what bike will be your next. Also, you'll have the current bike for a backup or bad weather ride.
+1, gotta agree with Jet, the Bianchi is a good bike and if it is just wheels, it will be a lot cheaper than a new bike at this point. If it is the more upright position you are lookin for, ask your lbs for tips on adjustments that will let your ride more upright. And stop eating thos 'razorbacks" if you want to shed some pounds.
