Wilier Crank choice.

I am spec'ing up a custom build Wilier.
My current dilemma is either a Zero.7 with Ultegra or Zero.9 with Dura Ace.
Both come with a FSA K-Force Lite chainset as standard (BB386) which I really like the look of. Comes with Wilier custom decals.
Options are to put on the chainset from the groupset, Dura-ace +£600, Ultegra +£300.
Is the FSA chainset comparable with shimano, it seams a popular item on many brands of bikes or is the shimano chainset £600 well spent??
I am leaning towards saving the money to spend on carbon pedals and bottle cages, but am open to advice if this is the wrong choice,
Thanks for any constructive comments.
FWIW
79kgs
185cm
43yo
8000 miles per year
Bike will be used for weekend thrashing (in UK)
And climbing/descending jolly ups in the alps.

    Can't offer any advice about fsa chainsets but +£300 for an ultegra chainset sees a lot to me when wiggle sell the 6800 11spd chainset for £142.
    If you decided to go for ultegra I'd order the bike with fsa, buy from wiggle plus a new bb and you would still be around £140 better off and that's before you sell the fsa chainset

    You'll need an adapter, since the Wilier is a BB386 frame.
