Thank you everyone for the advice!
I am thinking go with the argon!
Only problem I have is : the chart shows my inseam suggested I am xs and my hight show I am a s.
Advice?
I've got an older Argon, and am likely to be replacing that with an E-119 - I do like the look and ride of the argon tri bikes. That being said, I've 2 cannondale road bikes and my hardtail is also a cannondale, so no brand bias from me.
But size wise they are 'different'. And that's probably why I am a fan. I'm tall (6'4"), all in the legs, actually a spine length that's more like a sub 6 footer. So that means that I have a ton of seatpost and then a huge drop to the pads, but also don't need those pads a mile out front, or those pads to be 2mm above the top of the front tyre (I get the flat back not because of low front end but because it's relative to the saddle).
So to your point, you really need to measure the pad x and y on you current bike (assume that's a good fit) and chose the right frame for that. Just check the seat post will go high enough if you go xs.
Now I may be getting this wrong, sorry, about to go for a run and too lazy to check, but the E-118 was a generally more agressive low geometry for UCI rules than the 'odd numbered' 117/119 that were tri focussed. So again, deoends on your body shape and flexibility. That being said, same goes for the superslice.
