Think about what your deraileur does for you when you realize that corner at the bottom of a long fast descent is sharper than you thought. You come to understand buying a bike simply by components is not the best choice.
There's no free lunch. Two bikes at the same price...one with higher end parts....something has to give. Quality, Service, Engineering etc. If it made no difference...every bike would be cheap.
I highly doubt in today's market that a company like Trek is stupid enough to expect they can charge extra for JUST the name.
Buy the highest quality, best fitting frame/fork and wheels that you can afford. If it comes with 105 instead of Ultegra so be it. If it has to be Ultegra or DA...time to raise your budget not lower your standards.
