Shimano 9-speed freehub bodies

What are the differences between the Ultegra and 105 bodies? I need to
replace a freehub body on an Ultegra hub, and I'm wondering if I should
save ten dollars. I see the DA freehub is Ti, but what does the Ultegra
one have going for it?
Thanks much, AK

105 and Ultegra are both steel cassette body.

I don't know what the difference is (aside from 10 bucks:

but I'll bet they're interchangeable. However, I've found that there
are minor differences with right axle cone seals- you may need to
replace your right cone also if you're planning or replacing an
Ultegra body with a 105.

DA will not fit onto a ultegra hub w/o some modification. Use the 105, 5500
one, works fine.
