Arrow How-to shop for a Sprinters Frame?

My first and current road bike is a '05 Trek 2100, Aluminum frame/Carbon Stays. Great choice at the time but looking to drop some more serious money on a more serious frame.

I got a PowerTap & my best 10s power is just under 1300w. bw162lbs. My FT sucks so I'm definitely a sprinter type.

Whether I do any racing or not, sprinting is a blast and I want a stiff frame that I can ride for 60 miles without getting too beat up.

My LBS is insisting a TIME over Colnago. But I don't know where to look for imperical comparisons. If it were the TIME it would be the Edge Translink.
BMC & Pinarello seem to have some good options too.
(And yes, I will absolutely ride each of the final selections)

btw, I'm shopping in the $4-6k range for the whole build without wheels (already covered).


Any ideas/suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Dav
