The 105 looks nicer because the gear cables are routed under the bar tape and you get one extra gear.

That said there is little difference between Tiagra apart from that.

Defy 2 is Tiagra 10 speed with Tiagra chainset. Defy 1 is 105 11 speed with FSA chainset. The wheel set is slightly different too.
