Now I've seen a gadzillion comments on BF about the pros and cons of both, and I raced with Dura Ace, but it got me thinking that most cyclists, except for the Pros and a very few here, know diddly squat about the subject and more importantly know less about how to use either system correctly or maintenance. Both are sensational when used right. IMHO.

You've got DA? Then to me, you're one of those "Rich guys". It's all relative.
Excuse me while I ride my lowly 105 bike.
