I boutght the Onix Dama (although Campy and not Ultegra) 3 months ago and I couldn't be happier with mine. With that being said, no matter how great the specs, if the bike doesn't fit you'll be miserable. I too would recommend trying the next size down, but whatever you ultimately decide to do, let the LBS know and see what they can do for you. My LBS bent over backwards to get me the right bike (we're still tweaking the stem length) and I think most quality LBS's want you to be happy with your purchase. After all, most of their prifit comes from accessories and your repeat business so it's not in their best interests to ignore an unhappy client.
+1 on changing the bar - I went with the Salsa Short'n'Shallow and it made a world of difference in the reach - and my ability to reach the brakes while in the drops!
The Onix Dama is an absolutely beautiful bike - if I do say so myself
For those who haven't seen it, this is mine before changing the handlebars.
