Currently using a compact, but think it might be worthwhile pushing back up to a full size ultegra chain set-can you just replace the chainrings on ultegra 6700? Or will I need to get a new crankset?

New crankset sadly.
The BCD (distance of the chainring bolts from the centre of the crankset) is different. 110 for compact, 130 for standard double.0 -
Stick with the compact unless you want to join the big boys.0

No, he's going compact to standard, not vice versa so it does work.
Eg 110 bcd 53 - http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php ... b2s149p296
