Wilier GTR Ultegra vs Spec Tarmac 105 Worth the cash?

I'm weighing up whether to buy:
- Wilier GTR Ultegra 2015 - found a special for a touch under £1600
- Specialized Tarmac Sport 2015 - retail for £1500, but can get £150 off at Evans for trading in plus a further 15% off through my company bringing this to about £1200, a bit of a bargain
My heart wants the wilier, and at 1600 for the ultegra its good value given the 105 version goes for the same money. But is it really worth the extra £400? The 105 group will be more than ok for me (I was previously trying to decide between the 105 gtr and the specialized tarmac until i found the ultegra one for the same money)

No, the 'performance' difference is not worth the money.
But the real question is 'is the happiness worth the money'?
And can you afford to be that happy....

Get the Willier.
The Tarmac is the bog standard frame, not the new one.
Willier is so much sexier! I would say its worth the extra...i was looking at both earlier this year. The Tarmac is also no full 105, it has a cheap crank and I think they brakes are own brand as well...0
