some will say that all shimano road HTIIs are interchangeable - Shimano themselves disagree. I always use the specific one for the chainset but this is almost certainly not necessary - not sure why Shimano take this stance?

All Shimano Hollowtech BB's are interchangeable - they just don't say that as everyone would buy the Tiagra.

If you really want to upgrade then go for the ceramic bearing BB's from Hope etc.

I don't want to upgrade. The ultegra is in stock and the tiagra is not and its the same price as the tiagra at the shop I wish to buy it from.

Except the new DA 9000 and Ultegra 6800, which are different. Not directly relevant but worth entering into the record for future reference.
