M.Hubby, I've been using both a WSD and a standard compact geometry. My Cannondale R1000s are WSD, and a professional fit made sure I had a proper fit on the right size frame. My Bianchis are non-WSD, but compact geometry, so I've got the same size 'virtual' top tube. One of them is a Bianchi XL Carbon. Comparing geometries, I found them to be close enough. I also just got a carbon Colnago. This is a standard geometry, but in a smaller size. Again, with an adjustment of the seatpost, I get the same measurements. I'm 5'4" too, but probably with a shorter torso and longer legs.
Oh - I do find that I prefer Campy shifting to Shimano. I spent four days over Thanksgiving visiting my bf and riding one of my Shimano Cannondales - even after 200 miles, I was looking for my Campy shifter!
