You'll lose your OCP card, but it'll work fine.

The only major difference is that the 105 will last longer.... 
If you do buy a 10 spd Ultegra cassette just rememebr that the "10S" on the spacers doesn't mean "105"....

So the Ultegra is 15 grams lighter and $7 cheaper... No difference in shift performance? Extra engineering on the teeth?

The 105 may not be available in all the different sizes that the Ultegras have. But they do come in the popular 12-23/25/27 sizes.

have you weighed them yourself. I weighed 10 spd stuff yesterday. Both in box with (same for each) they weighed exactly the same. ultegra and 105. Granted I should of taken them out of the box but it was not my stock and I was happy that the shop let me use the scale to weigh them.12-27 is what I weighed. if there truly is a difference other than finish I cant imagine it is much.

I should point out that I have one bike with RSX, 105, Ultegra, and Dura Ace. It all works just fine. And then I have another bike with Centaur, Chorus, and Record. And that works just fine too.
You want to start a good thread, ask if you can put a Record part on an otherwise all-Ultegra bike.

The ultegra and 105 are exactly the same except the finish on the cogs. They both use steel cogs. Shimano's website claims both use a Nickle plating but dont know how they really differ.
The 105 does come in the handy 11-25 cluster for you compact fellows.
