The difference is only 400 dollars but I have heard the gains are negligible.

The down side to Campy is their poor parts and service support in Canada. SRAM and Shimano excel in support.

Yes, I could do it cheaper but this is my dream bike thus the selection of higher end group sets. I may however, stick with Force and spend the extra money on wheels. Decisions, decisions..

Thanks for the great input guys.
