9-Speed Older 105 vs. 10-Speed Newer 105

OK...I tried a search, and the function would not search for 105 (too short?). Apologies if this has been discussed to death. Feel free to weigh in here, or send me to another thread, if you know it exists!
Still doing some research on a possible new bike. Trying to weigh options and costs.
I had assumed I would like to move up to Ultegra or DA (or equivalents in other gruppos). But, in weighing costs, now I am wondering about staying with 105 (albeit the new 10-speed vs. my old 9-speed 105)?
Would like to hear from folks who have ridden both older 9-speed 105 and newer 10-speed 105. Differences? Would also like to hear from folks who have ridden both 10-speed 105 and compare it to current Ultegra, etc.
My current bike has the older 9-speed 105 (triple). I have not had the troubles some have reported (I don't get chain drop, don't need lots of adjusting, don't have missed shifts). Also, I don't race, but do want the new bike to be ready for what might come in a couple years...TTs? Tri's?
Thanks for your opinions (or directions to previous threads). Thanks!
