Advice: 2018 Tarmac Pro vs. Tarmac Expert

Hello,
I'm currently deciding between the 2018 Tarmac Pro (SL6) or 2018 Tarmac Expert (SL5).
My LBS will make sure that the bike will be equiped with Ultegra di2. The Tarmac Pro comes standard with di2, the Tarmac Expert comes with Dura Ace but that will be converted to di2. I want to give +- €5000 for my new bike. The Tarmac expert costs €4500, the Tarmac Pro €6300. The Tarmac Pro will come with less expensive wheels than the one that come standard with them to reduce the price. Oh, and I'm a women and I just don't like the 'agressive' wheels that come with the Pro.
Is there a big difference in 'comfort' (I know it's not a comfort bike) between the two bikes? Or what exactly will be the difference? Is it better to buy a bike that comes standard with di2 than one that has to be converted? I'm not racing, I'm not a pro at all, I'm just very passionate about cycling and this will be my second bike and it I want it to be a really good one.
Pro:

Any opinions?
Thanks!
