Going from Road Bike to Gravel Bike - Need Help on groupset choice

I have been riding a Specialized Allez for about 11 years now that has a Shimano 105 groupset (with the exception of the rim brakes which are some Specialized branded brakes). A couple of years back, I switched out the original cassette for different gearing a switched out the rear derailleur for a newer long-cage Shimano 105 at that time.

I am trying to decide between a Specialized Diverge Sport (with 105) and the Specialized Diverge Comp (with Ultegra). The price difference between the two is $950.00. Thoughts and opinions on which route to take are appreciated. Is it worth it on a gravel bike to spring for the more expensive Ultegra. Appears there is no difference in the wheelset between the two. Looks like you get an S-Works seatpost with the Comp, so I guess not all of the cost increase is attributable to Ultegra.
