Another: "Help me choose" Q?

Mugser

My tigra (9sp) stuff is starting to show its age and the wheels are past their best also but the frame is tickedy-boo so it's upgrade parts time for me and I reckon I can squeez a budget of about 1k. So here's what I'm thinking: Shimano Ultegra 6800 11sp groupset that come with pedals: http://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-ultegra-6800-groupset-62928.html and a pair of ultegra wheels: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ie/en/shimano-ultegra-road-wheelset-6800/rp-prod109835

So what do ye think? Should go as above or go for a lesser groupset like 105 and get more expensive wheels?

Thats a good deal on the Ultegra 6800, with pedals included (if you need the pedals?). I have it on a new bike, and I'm really impressed with it so far. The shifting is crisp and the brakes are way better than the Ultegra 6600 I had been using (I found out the hard way). As an upgrade from 9 speed, the extra gears will really reduce the gaps /jumps in your gears if you're using 12-27 or even 12-25.

Cant comment on the wheels, except they're even cheaper on Merlin (€300 v €327)
