What version of Di2?
I mean honestly, as good as 105's have become with the 5800, anything Di2 is just that much nicer.
That being said, I'd probably be a little hesitant on the 10 speed 6770 and absolutely avoid the initial Dura-Ace version (7970) as it used different cables that aren't compatible with anything else. But if it's Ultegra 6870 or DA 9070, it's a keeper.

I'll leave it up to you to figure out the other 30%. If you are in any way offended, that's on you.

I'd get 9070 in a flash over 5800 (who wouldn't? ). It'll work better, looks better if you set it up nicely, and i'd imagine it'll be better in the rain/winter with no cables to get gunged up.

I'd pick up the older / nicer one, but I hate paying for depreciation. Plus you likely have more room to bargain used
As above a Foil makes zero sense as a bad weather bike. With the Solace you will at least have room to run bigger tires and/or mount fenders
