Opinion on Campy front dérailleur,
Having an discussion with a friend. If you had to choose between two front dérailleurs and looking for strength/durability not weight which one would you choose between a Centaur and a Chorus. In my opinion, the Centaur would be a better choice, stronger alloy than Chorus but of course heavier. His bike mechanic told him that a Chorus is more durable. I have my doubt !!!

Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

You do understand that whatever the differences actually are, they're more by of way of bar be material than meaningful in the real world.
