I consider the brakes to be important.

Please note I am believer in local shops. If we don't support them they'll be gone.
You could do it cheaper: I sold a full 105 5800 groupset with RS505 levers and flat-mount calipers for about $300. Everything was in mint condition. I'm betting you could buy just the RS505 levers and calipers used for around $200. It's not a hard install.
