Orbea2009, If you have the disposable income and a desire for the Record group, buy it. Is it better than Chorus group? As a complete group, yes, but perhaps not to the same amount as it's additional cost may suggest, unless there is a specific feature the Record has that isn't available with Chorus that you want.

Now-a-days the top two, perhaps even the third tier group from any of the component manufacturers is good enough for the fast B and A group riders or lower level CAT racers.
