Is there much noticeable difference between these 2 group-sets?

Is the price difference between the 2009 cayo range worth the extra £££?

IMO it looks better to get the 105 and spend the spare cash on some better wheels. i.e DT Swiss, Eastons or Dura Ace?

    if the price difference will get you some better wheels then go 105. My bike has a mix, Ultegra shifters and front/rear mechs, with 105 calipers. Biggest test of the brakes was descending Tourmalet and Hautacam in the wet in this year's etape and they worked fine. I have Easton SLX 90 wheels and they are a big improvement on the standard Bontrager Race the bike came with.
