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.
