I do have to admit though that when i had it set up on a 10s triple I didn't like. Your extra cog is probably going to be around the 18t cog and most riders really don't notice it. And campy really only has one triple ratio of 30/42/52

Do you really need the top that the triple provides? Have you thought about a super compact double, say a 30/46 with the 10s rear?
Built up a bike last year with a 50/34 compact. Just wasn't enough to get me up a lot of the hills in western North Carolina. Built up a triple after that and it worked fine although I much preferred the compact - seemed to be a much smoother system. Wasn't aware of super compact as you mentioned - cant find any Campagnolo info on such a crank

thanks
