Ultegra 6600 vs 6700

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ultegra 6600 vs 6700

Hi

LBS has one of the last bikes with full Ultegra 6600. In one week the 2010 model will be released with Ultegra 6700 - but pretty much the same bike otherwise.

Is there any reason why I would get the 6600 rather than the 6700. Looking at the 7800vs 7900 chat, sounds like the 7900 brakes are better but it shifts a bit worse.

Saw the 6700 at my LBS recently. Looks good, and the cables are run under the bartape like Campy.
The LBS owner/wrench says the cable routing is much more critical, and requires higher level cables/housings. Weight is supposed to be close to 7800 DuraAce.
