What difference does it make so long as you like them? I guarantee you there are crossover upgrades from one brand to another all along the respective product lines. Must you really believe that bottom of the line Campy is somehow better than top of the line Shimano? That's ridiculous, but so par for the course. Could you not just let the upgrade comment pass without comment like an adult?
