2nd tier is usually the sweet spot, all the function of the Pro group without the extremely expensive exotic materials. That means Ultegra, Force or Chorus, according to prejudice. Obviously Shimano 6600 is cheap because of the millions of OTPs sold with it on board, and it's the last Ultegra before they uglied up the groupset with that weird 2-tone thing that makes all modern Shimano anti.
