Now the race crowd can shift from wherever their hands might be, shaving off valuable seconds. Sure, this is mostly of importance to racers at the moment, but the trickle down will benefit the average rider in a few years. I hope to see Campy release some remote shifting switches soon.
That would be neat, but I like just having their elegant stuff. A re-issue in 10sp of components that mimic some of the earlier stuff would be pretty cool, like a skeleton Delta, or maybe re-issues that look like the old stuff but use lighter alloys. I still look at new Campy stuff and go "oooh, cool."
