Thanks, everyone for the suggestions. I am definitely not planning on aero bars anytime soon! It's just something I want to take into consideration when selecting a bike. The Lemond LBS got me thinking since he told me it would be harder to get into the aero position on the Lemond geometry.

A quick question re: saddles. When I was actually on the Trek the saddle felt very comfy even in jeans. Just the next day I felt sort of bruised in the seat-bone area. I wasn't sure if this was just something your body adapts to or if this means the saddle wasn't good for me. I also understand that I need some bike shorts to really simulate what it will be like, but even with the padding is a bruise-like feeling "normal" or unacceptable?
