I know you are considering a Madone. The calculations show that you won't lose a thing.
I've also been planning on a new Madone so I've been considering the the same thing. In my case I already have a 12-27 on the old bike with the triple, so I'd definitely be losing on the low end. It's exactly this that has me deciding on the 5.5 that comes with SRAM Force. My thinking is that if I can't hack it with the stock gearing I'll be able to switch out the RD to a mid cage Rival and switch the cassette to 11-32 and get my low back.
