As much as I love Campy (I have a Record group), I will agree with the above post, Centaur is slightly lower grade than the DA. But, Campy provides you with repairability, and the Centaur line can be had in silver or gray anodized components. Also, the Centaur offers alloy or carbon cranks, of which you can also get in compact, DA you cannot. Centaur has more offerings, but DA is a little more refined, and weighs slighty less.
Now, if you were to compare DA to Campy Record. For there is no comparison within the realm of human understanding. It's like comparing a Toyota Camry to a Ferrari. Record is the "creme de la creme".
It is so choice.
