The only time when I might see a 4-5km/h difference between my hybrid and my drop bar bike is when there is a very strong head wind, but even then I don't think the possibility is remote.

I would look for a bike with 105 or better, even if it means compromising for aluminum rather than carbon. You'll notice the difference with the better component, but not necessarily with a carbon frame.
