Usually with Shimano's top grades of parts you are buying less weight along with a little bit of performance. A caveat about the highest grades is that you as a sport rider may not be getting increased reliability, in fact your reliability may be worse as the lightest racing parts require more maintenance and are sometimes designed with short lifetimes (an expense of maximum performance)
