What stem do you have on your track?
If it's quite short, 8 cm or so you may get away with the longer stem on the cx, but it's it 10 or longer you may end up with a 13 cm stem, which is a tad long perhaps.
Bear in mind on CX you probably sit more upright, but it's something to consider. I cycle a tourer with a 6 cm stem and it's OK as the geo is MTB like, but I believe (help, Ed?) most frames suit between 8-10 cm stems.

For what it's worth I'm 5"5' and I cycle pretty short top tube bikes...51 seems OK. Reach is the big one for me usually. But my bikes are all pre-fancy-geo, bar the Ciocc the seat angles are quite standard and a standard setback saddle does the job.
@edscoble I can go measure stack and reach on them if you want? For funz as they're old frames anymore.
