Any idea where I could get those spacers lbs?

I picked up a couple at my LBS for my wife's Ultegra, I've also seen them for sale on-line, somewhere. They work well and you have to look really close to even see one of these. I've seen many posts from people with the same problem as yours and for some reason this seems to occur most often on 9-speed Ultegra cranks. The spacer is the normal fix for this. Try the 1.5 or the 2.
With no spacers my 9-speed D-A has a slight drag on the big ring if cross-chained 39 to 13 (smallest). No drag on the 39-14 or 15. No reason Ultegra shouldn't be as good.
