Is the difference between 105/Ultegra worth $300, ie is it worth it to buy the Bianchi vigorelli over the imola?
Thanks!

It's not the differenece between 105 and ultegra that makes it $300 differenece. You get better wheels I'm sure on the higher model, etc. There are other parts on that bike that make it cost more I'm sure.
In reality the group price between 105 and ultegra is only $100. Go check GVH website for prices on build kits $825 for 105 and $925 for ultegra.
P.S. If you ride a lot get the vigorelli.....$300 extra is not a lot of money spread out over 10,000 -15,000 miles of road riding.
