My bad, it's Buy Road Bikes & Parts at Ribble Cycles | Online Bike Shop. I suggest 105 out of personal preference. When I compare 105 to sora I notice a huge improvement in shifting for not much extra cost. That's just my own experience though. Finding a good bike with 105 for $1000 is possible. You don't need 105 throughout either.
What concerns you about the 105's maintenance exactly?

Ended up ordering the Specialized Allez Elite. I sat on the Cannondale and a Giant TCR 0, and this one felt the best, although the Giant TCR had better components, except for maybe the crank and brakes. Put the guy at the LBS through a gruelling day, but I bought everything I needed and even fixed my Seek R3.
I'll have to post some pics when I get it and take her up as high as I can get it.

With 105 brakes. I don't know how high I climbed, but it was much higher than I've ever climbed before.
