I have larger hands so with the compact bars on the CAAD10-5 I can shift with one finger (up or down) with 105 too while in the drops. Honestly though I was new so either system I had no preference for. I picked my CAAD10 based on the frame color and went with the team version. Knowing I would be upgrading the wheels and groupset eventually.
