I have been riding the same Klien/Ultegra for over 10 yrs....small rides mainly but moving back to Cali earlier this year started riding 3-5 times a week, 8 mile rides during lunch, and 20 during the weekends.
I think 105 or Ultegra are good enough for what you are doing, but I would try to get the most bike for the money and unfortunately buying retail that is not going to happen. I will be upgrading soon and have been looking for good deals on middle to upper bikes with Ultegra or better.
I would check this site out....best bang for the buck I have been able to find....heck this bike is a full carbon bike from an amazing maker with Ultegra group...

Also, Craigslist is a good spot to find great bikes from folks who upgrade yearly...
