Unique Vintage Steel
I'll say this:
They'll likely look great on a Carbon or Aluminum frame.
They'll look horrid on a Steel frame.
Sadly - I am planning on putting a new Campy group on a steel frame next year. Looks like I'll be going with 2006 versions of the crank and brakes.

Anymore word on the ergo shifters (QS).... and if only chorus and record will have the thumb shifter?
I really like the thumb shifter..... it would be a shame if the other groups dropped it.

I hope they offer alternative. I love te look of the FSA cranks, when I look at that crank it reminds me of a bowling ball.

We'll get used to this stuff...eventually. In the meantime I will order an extra crankset, brakeset.
As far as the shifters are concerned, I plan to wait. It could be that the QS system is the bomb. I'm kind of expecting it to be.

That would be ridicolus!... That is one of the main reasons I went Campy. I would be schocked if Campy did something soo stupid just to try to sell higher end groupos. I think a lot of people would switch to SRAM to try it then buying Centaur.

Yeah, if Campy nerfed their shifters, it would kill their business.
Right now, they offer performanc and finish for all price levels. that was their best attribute. They did not play stupid games like shimano did (such as plastic internals in 105 shifters)
Looks like they DID nerf the shifters: https://www.campyonly.com/rumors.html
Looks like Record and Chorus are the only ones to retain multi-gear dumping. Looks like I might have to get the cash to buy them and a Centaur lever, and work on a way to convert these things to alloy levers. I do NOT want CF on my brake levers....to me that's just tacky...and I refuse to lose my shifting versatility, as I do use it.

And just slap down $750. for the ZG's and you'll be all set - that is, IF you can find a set of them. (vaporware) And if you want to talk fugly, the ZG's are it IMO, except they are still a bit easier to look at than D/A's "flattened penis" design. 
BTW, ZG's use hollow-type BB too.

3. I like the chainrings. I like how they don't look like my compound miter saw. Everyone wants to copy Shimano. They look like chainrings, as they should. The design of them gives me sort of a retro feel that I think is very classy.
4. And, I have always liked Campy's carbon layup. Everyone else, except the FSA SLK, tends to use the regular carbon cloth surface design. Campy doesn't do that.

The best thing is that Campy has kept the close Q-factor - the best in the industry AFAIK - while dropping some weight.
Also nice is keeping the chainrings looking like bicycle chainrings instead of like something that just flew off from a Makita circular saw.

I sure hope so--I'm still not used to the (slight at 5.8°) slope on my frame--and I've had it for 7 months
those brakes are ugly as he!!, just imo
