Probably not in a first bike. The prevailing wisdom is this: if you get the cycling bug big time, you will likely want to upgrade whatever you start with fairly soon, so rhe 105 represents good economy. You aren't throwing away money on a bike you will just replace anyway. If you don't get the bug, well 105 will do fine for you forever. You wouldn't care about the Ultegra anyway. See how that works?
