2011 P3 or 2012. Felt DA1

Very different geometries... If the P3C fits you well, then the DA1 will be too long and low and if the DA1 fits you well, then the P3C won't fit you well, being too short and tall...

So, either it will be a major upgrade switching, or it will be a very expensive mistake....

Normally Jan and I seem to always agree- but I'm not sure about this. By the Stack/Reach measure, the DA is actually comeing out as the taller/shorter reach bike.  But I believe that the Stack/Reach isn't really comparable given the new headset configuration.  Felt's have always been known for being in the 'long-low' category.  Did the new DA really change this?  Haven't ridden one. 

My guess is that you'd be able to fit it just fine.  The big upgrade is to Di2 more than the frame.

I might have cross-read the table... I had it to be a much bigger difference than that.

The stack is slightly taller on the DA1 and the reach slightly shorter, not the other way around as I had it in my prior post.

Yes, agree with Morey, that switch should work. The DA1 is a stunning machine btw! My wife is riding a DA4W (which really only the frame is left as original component, we swapped everything else out from her other tri bike)

Thank you for the help! I am getting the DA1!

Congratulations! The DA1 is truly a masterpiece.
