Is Shimano 105 good enough?

Do I really need Shimano 105?
The biggest decision is whether you’re really fussed about having the 11-speed of Shimano’s more expensive 105. If you go for Tiagra you can’t upgrade to 105 one component at a time because 10-speed and 11-speed drivetrain components aren’t interchangeable. If you want really low gears, 105 is the better choice.
