If cost is at all a factor id say get the 105, I have had mix of 105 & Ultegra on my road bike vs Dura Ace on my tri bike, I honestly cant tell any difference between any of them, even when components are older and more worn you hardly notice.
What is a factor for me now is that im toying with changing the cassette on my tri bike to a easier range (12-25, maybe 27 instead of the 11-23), its about £120 for just a cassette. I guess im more cost sensative now than I once was, especially as im not aware of the difference, that said im not going to put Ultegra or 105 cassette on a Dura Ace groupset so ill just have to swallow the cost.

weight and precision of engineering and therefore cost. Highly unlikely that we would notice the difference in the first two.
105 is what i got, ultegra is what i cant afford
and by the title of this thread i was expecting the latest bike to human communication device - a la Knightrider
"Michael, you're not pedalling hard enough..."
And on a sensible note... if you have to ask, you won't notice - get the 105 and save your money

Surpised no one has come in and said buy sram or campag yet..........
Kitt had a P1, a P2, a P3 AND a P4? Even Barlos doesn't have that.
And a boardman Air
So he has a normal cruise and auto cruise.
So if he had a Tom Cruise, would that be a whore detector?
I think Ultegra is just a TAD slicker but it might just be imagination. DA a tad slicker still
and all that slickness and weight saving doesnt mean a thing if you dont have a dump before your race
...and it means even less if you have to have a dump DURING the race!
Even KITT isn't cool enough for a P5.
I have DA/105 on my parts-bin road bike. It all does the job. I have SRAM on the TT, and the local neighbourhood knows when I've changed gear.
