After thinking it a little further, I think the lack of rebuildability and exposed parts on the Ultegra shifters is kind of a deal breaker, regardless of ergonomics. I'd rather have peace of mind in the post ride hose-off, really. Looking into it, Ribble has Campy Veloce shifters (same ergonomics as the rest of the new Campy, alu. levers) for just over $100 and with their cheap prices on Campy cassettes, chains and derailleurs, I could probably rig up a Campy drivetrain really easily. I think I'm between Campy and SRAM now...
