Congrats!
I just got the 4.5 a month ago. I like it a lot. DH has a 5.2 and loves it.
Bontrager seats are IMO mediocre. Definitely worth looking for something you like better. I swapped mine out for a Specialized saddle that seems to be working well for me.

Stick with the 165s. My LBS tried to convince me I would be "more powerful" with the 170s when I got my new bike. I felt like I was struggling to pedal, especially since I'm a spinner. After a week or two I got the 165s put on.

Yeah, Trek is notorious for putting bad saddles on their bikes.

Gorgeous!! I saw that exact bike at the LBS yesterday, it is a sexy bike. I love the cables routed through the frame.

Wow! That is one sexy bike! I suspect the clock is going to tick extra slow over the next week while you're waiting for it.
