I would be all over Shimano if they didn't have such horrible shifting units. It's not the shifting mechanism, is the size of the hoods and the cable routing.
I'm thinking that Campy may be better to shift in the drops, especially while sprinting. You don't have to loosen your grip as much to do it, just raise your thumb.
But I didn't say that. Shimano's my homie
