For me, 19" would be too big. They're not hugely different sizes, but as you start dialing in your cockpit setup, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them starts to seem too long or too heavy or light on the front wheel.
It sounds like there will always be another deal available to you. Getting bike size right is really important and I think it got easier once I'd nailed it on a bike the first time. So you might wait on the road bike until you've made a decision you're confident in on the mountain bikes. MTB endurance is more fun than a road century anyway.
