I'd recommend trying a Trek WSD 1500, MSRP of $1150, so maybe you can find a 2005, or get a deal on a 2006. But of course, you'd have to ride it and love the fit. There are a lot of people on here that have variations of that bike. I have the 2100 WSD 2005, bought sight unseen on eBay, which I dearly love. Going from the $700 MSRP Trek WSD 1000 you get some better components, including an Ultegra rear derailleur, and you get the carbon fork and seatpost, both of which are shock absorbing. Most WSD bikes will give you a triple crank, which will make beginning hill climbing _much_ easier.
I'm 5'2", and I ride a 47cm Trek. There are two older ones on eBay right now! (Plus my beloved bike's twin in a 54cm, right now at $255...)
