If you can afford it, you just validated getting the Dura Ace. You will no longer have to wonder about differences and value. You will know from your experience. I have never had Dura Ace, the Ultegra 6500 and 6600 are really good. The 105 7000 is really good. If I, like you, really wanted the top of the line, had the disposable cash to spend, I like to think I would just get it. Reality is, just like you, I would probably be questioning if the cost is really worth it. The answer is likely no, but damn, if you just have to, nothing wrong with stroking that ego.
