R7000 stuff turned up from Merlin. Not too bad considering I ordered on Saturday.
Having used the chonky boye R785 shifters for the last three years, the 105 shifters feel diminutive by comparison. Lovely, though. Far comfier size for my hands, but most importantly, the reach of them. Very glad I didn't spend the extra on Ultegra or DA tbh. This stuff looks great. Also went for 52/36 / 30t instead of 50/34 / 28t which is what I've had for the last five or so years. Should be built up at the weekend.
