Most dedicated roadies find 105's to be quite fine.
I know a few buddies who race on 105 & do just fine, they're older guys not looking to win, but just finish race that are 180km or longer.
The shop I like to go to says I wouldn't notice a difference in performance unless I was CAT2, I'm no where near CAT2 but went with Dura Ace because i got a deal on NOS I couldn't refuse.
