That is bad news and scary. I have no information about your bike contenders (except to say that if the S5 comes with Hushovd vibes, you should get that one!).
Anyway, how badly broken is your Felt? A friend, who crashed and broke a seat stay during a race, sent his bike to be repaired. I believe the place is this one: http://www.calfeedesign.com/ (also read about it in VeloNews). For this friend, the crash replacement cost was $800, but the repair was $300, so perhaps it is something to consider since it may gain you time to shop.
PS: Here is the VeloNews article where Calfee Design is discussed.
