HELP...broken seat post clamp, Felt B2

I won't bore with details, just looking for input....IMMD six weeks from today!!

Have Felt B2 pro with the integrated seat post clamp which cracked today during ride(NO, I did not over tighten it). Left it at LBS with plan for them to get ahold of Felt ASAP Mon., but in doing research online after leaving I'm fearing 1. It's not a fixable issue, and 2. Frame replacement from Felt as others had success with not an option because bought it used??.

Am I right about 1 and/or 2 above? Start looking for a new frame? If new frame is the way to go, don't really want to get another Felt with the same inherent design flaw, so thoughts on frame....Cerevelo has always peaked my curiosity, but is it a significantly different fit/feel that I may not want to mess with this close to race?

Any/all input please!!

    I can't comment on fixing the Felt but assuming you can duplicate all of your measurements on a new bike, you should be good.
