I have 9 speed Ultegra on my Lemond. I upgraded to DA levers after a crash and I love the feel of them. They are different than the Ultegra 9. However, the new 10 speed stuff has been redesigned, so that observation is moot. I did ride a Cannondale equipped with full DA and I thought it shifted a bit smoother than my set-up. However, was it so much smoother that I need to run out and spend a wad of cash on it? No! Do I WANT to run out and spend a wad of cash on it? Well, that's a different story!
