He also mentioned that it's more a matter of personal preference whether to use a double or triple in the city. I'll have to get out there and decide what's more comfortable on my own.

I'm going to take a step back, visit a few shops, and ride a few frames before I continue this decision. However, I am leaning now towards just getting another 105 groupset for the commuter and waiting on the Ultegra upgrade.
I think riding a few bikes with compact doubles on some of the hills you expect to ride will be the best way to figure out if a double will work for you or if you want a triple.
