i found a discernible difference between 105 and the Ultegra (mechanical) on bikes i took for test rides
Ultegra shifted better - much more precise and smooth
worth the $$
Then your bike shop hosed you by sending you out on a 105 bike that needed a tune up. There is zero difference other than weight betweetn 105 and Ultegra.
4 different brand new bikes? yeah, right... wanna try again?
2 with 105 and 2 with Ultegra

^ exactly what I was about to say. Either that or you imagined it, but I would not trust that shop.

If you were comparing 8000 to 5800 there would be a difference. But if you were comparing then in the same cycle (6800 to 5800 or 8000 to 7000) then it was most likely just in your head.
For sure buy ultegra if you can afford it, but don't do it because you think it will shift better than 105.
Ultegra feels a bit nicer and more refined than 105. The new generation of components is so good though that it’s hard to tell them apart. I still prefer SRAM though, primarily because I prefer their hood shape to that of Shimano.

If you really like your existing bikes, you could keep the frame and buy a new groupset, pedals, & brakes.
That will cost more just buying a new bike.
Thought we didn’t give any cares about money.
