For bling, I would be all over the Campy products. For function/cost, it's Ultegra 6700 (not Dura Ace 7900). (For the record, I'm a Dura Ace Di2 user who lusts after Campy and has used 6700. I still use the 6700 crankset and brakes with my Di2 -- because I think they're better than the 7900 units.)
