As far as group level is concerned there is nothing to choose between the two bikes OP mentioned originally. Sure one has a smidgen of Ultegra, but if you scored all the components (like DA = 5, Ultegra = 4 , 105 = 3 and so on), I would be surprised if one bike is much different than the other. They are both that mixed up with lower end stuff, good, but neither Ultegra nor 105. I would opt for the compact double crank over the triple (personal preference) and be done with it. What makes it tough is that the bike with the triple really has much more Shimano brand stuff on it than the other one does. If OP could get the triple swapped out for a double, that would clinch it for me.
