I was a little soured on it, left the shop feeling that the 105 would be the one for me. I still have a few weeks until my tax refund gets here, so I have a little more time to decide.
Without having a negative word for SRAM,
I like Shimano as well. It's the bees knees.
Again, I'm pretty sure my next bike will be SRAM Red.
"If" I don't like it, I will just wait for late 2012 and
snatch up a Dura-Ace 9000 11 Speed Groupset.
