2014 Cervelo P2 in 48cm or 51cm

My LBS is offering an amazing deal on a 2014 Cervelo P2 in a size 51 and I relly want it to fit. It's on the bigger side of my fit range I think. I've got a 29.5" cycling inseam and sternal notch measures 22.875" crotch to notch. I'm 5'4"

48cm stack = 485 / reach = 381
51cm stack = 506 / reach = 397

I do Olympic and 1/2 iron distance. Nothing less than olympic but hope to get to a full iron one of these years. Right now my drop is about 1cm. I am not fast or crazy competitive. Just enjoy the sport and want to be comfortable but also want to improve.

Any advice / feedback appreciated

If you go with some of the basic road bike fit guidelines, 51 would be pretty close to recommended for you. But you are looking at something a little bit different.

I would look for a decent in-person fit recommendation. Things like flexibility, arm lengths and so on should play into what fits you properly. Maybe the LBS has someone who can do a fit?
