Hopefully the CAADX - 105 will have disc brakes next year. If so, that'll probably be my route. Unless I can get a CAADX - Disc Ultegra for cheap once the 2014s are out.
I was going to get the 105 and just upgrade the brakes but got a good deal on the disc. I think you would be plenty happy with the 105 but you might look into some TRP brakes as the stock ones didn't seem to hardly work. With TRPs or similar I think it would be as good as the disc as the stock discs aren't amazing either.
