more to buy better, they shouldn't be spending over half a thousand dollars on bike parts IMO.

Now, if they choose to spend it on Rival because they personally prefer it? So be it! More power to them!

Why?

You can get Ultegra 6700 shipped for less than $800.
$710. actually... http://www.xxcycle.com/php/boutique/...1&FROM=froogle

Then we should all be riding dura-ace and if we can't afford that, we shouldn't be riding a bicycle. Also 105, ultegra, rival and force shouldn't even exist. That argument makes no sense.

I consider it equal. Personal preference being the only difference to me. (apart from weight and price)

And there I have it, I hadn't seen it that cheap. Still about 20% more expensive.
