Agreed.
1. Buy the absolute best road bike you can afford.
2. Buy for where you want to be (in terms of goals and achievements) not where you are.
I think you will LOVE the Trek carbons - and the Madone is a beauty.

The 47cm might be fine, but it would be a good idea to try other sizes too to see how they feel. Personally, I ride a 15.5" framed mtb and found the 47cm Treks definitely too small even just sitting on them. (Dealer didn't have any 51cm bikes in stock for me to try though, so I went with another brand.)

Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

Yikes! I didn't even notice that you were trying to figure out how one size correlated to the other!
Don't even think about doing that; you need to get fitted to the bike. The bike shop will figure out what size you need- just make sure you choose a good bike shop with trained fitters.
