You can always upgrade the seat post and wheels later and I would see if the shop can swap you out to a 12-27. Heck, if you have the cash, I would see if you can pay to upgrade the seat post and wheels before you walk out the door with the bike.
As for the 105, its a bummer it is not the new but I don't think you would notice such a big difference when riding.
I say go for it - nice looking bike.
Some say the old shifts better than the new 105 (with the under bar tape cable routing).
