My Trek 2100 WSD (my backup bike) is a 105 triple and I actually think it shifts better and easier than my Cannondale Synapse with Ultegra 6700. I have MUCH LESS mis-shifts with the Trek than I do on my Cannondale. The 105 triple just shifts flawlessly - and I admit, I haven't really taken good care of this bike. I don't think I've replaced a thing since I bought it (back in 2008)...yet it just keeps truckin' along beautifully. I'm almost afraid to touch anything on it, for fear that my good luck "streak" will forever be broken. If it were not for the fact that the frame is a bit too big for me, I'd likely ride it more than my Synapse...simply because the shifting is smoother and easier on my problematic hands.
