I was going to say something like this.
Keep in mind, after five years or so, depending on use and abuse, the brifters might have issues .... but I have used 6800 on my best bike since 2015 and it is an amazing group set.
Also keep in mind that it can be hard (and expensive) to find 6800 parts. I had to get a 8000-series cassette and I had a heck of a time finding a brifter when one broke (due to an unfortunate cable snag and failure---the brifter didn't fail through use, but due to cable failure.) So .... whatever.
On the other hand, if you really want a second bike---and of course you do---is the Focus really what you want? Yeah, it might be a little stiffer (hope it has a CF fork) and the 6800 group is wonderful .... but the bike is going to be pretty much the same as the Allez, perhaps.

Up to you .... I love 6800 .... and $500 is a pretty easy price point .... if ti fits, and is in really good shape, it is tempting .... but it might just be another, and not a better, bike. Your call.
