So entry-level electronic shifting currently adds around £750 to a mechanical build - but you do get a power meter thrown in. From the above example it sounds like the cost difference on a complete bike is a lot higher, at least for now.
My 2022 Canyon Endurace with Force AXS, Quarq PM, DT Swiss carbon wheels and integrated carbon bars was £4500, which I thought was very reasonable for the spec. There's also a Rival build now with alloy wheels for £3300. There is currently no mechanical group option with my SL Frameset, but I recall the previous Ultegra mechanical build with alloy wheels was around the £3k mark.
I suspect this is 11 speed 105....in other words the old/obsolete version..... it looks like future 105 groups will be Di2 only and cost 3x as much. I hope they wise up and come out with a mechanical version but I am not holding my breath. And asking for a mechanical version that supports rim brakes would be perfect, since I am dreaming maybe ask for that too.
