What is your guys opinion on this:
CAAD10 5 (105 - $1500) with $500-600 wheelset = $2000-2100
vs
CAAD10 3 (Ultegra - $2100) with no upgrades = $2100

Both 2012, new @ LBS.

CAAD10 5 has Shimano RS10 wheels on it. FSA Gossamer Pro Crankset. Tektro brakes.
CAAD10 3 has Makic Aksium WTS. FSA SL-K Light Crankset. Ultegra Brakes.

I already have Continental GP4000S tires I'll put on either.
CAAD10 5 with a Soul wheelset($500)
And maybe later swap out the breaks for 105s or some other aftermarket brakes
