If it inspires you to ride more, I'd consider that an upgrade.

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com
Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

I have a 2005 Allez that has about 5000 miles on it (school doesn't give me much time to ride lately). Within the next 2 years I will be replacing it. I have been looking but the problem is that when I bought my bike, it had a Ultegra/Dura Ace combo. About a month later, the new Allez (same year model) came with a Ultegra/105 combo. I got a great deal and now I am looking at the bikes in amazement at how much more expensive they are with the Ultegra/Dura Ace combo. I paid $1700 for my bike and to "upgrade" the frame and have the same components I am looking at about $3700.
Oh well, I am about to graduate (in 16 weeks). By the time I am ready to buy, I hope to have 5000 more miles on it.
