Cervelo for a woman (48 or 51)

Do any of you ladies ride a Cervelo?
I am 5'4" and am thinking of getting an R3. Looking at the size guide, a 48 may be right, but might I manage with a 51? (the frame reach does not seem much different to my current bike, but the effective top tube is a bit longer.)
I am sure someone will say "go and test ride one" but my nearest dealers are MILES away and no-one has a small one in stock for me to try out anyway.
Has anyone got any experience of these sizes?

I hadn't been to Royles before. What a shop! They were very helpful and I now think a 51 will be the right size.
I might wait until the spring though because the new frame available thenwill come suitable for electronic gear shifting and you will be able to get an Ultega option.

If I were any shorter I would have gone for a 48.
