I rode a Pinarello FP3 with 10 speed DA on our vacation in Tuscany last summer.
No doubt in my mind that the performance of the system was outstanding.
Past that, its up to an individual's taste.
I liked it a great deal, but I recall the gruppo looking more "space age" than classic.
Top notch, classy finish though.
The other tricky part about the DA is the price. Cranks alone are going for $400-$500.
