Oh, I almost forgot. Check the prices for less expensive tools. You don't need Campy brand tools. Park Tools are wonderful. So are Pedro's and many others. Kits come in lot of brands, but I don't know what is available and the price comparison where you are. Also that Campy set you speak of may not contain the oddball stuff. Some of those tools cost $200 a piece. But it is okay. You can have the LBS do those jobs for you, as I said above, for not too much money. So pay attention to what comes in the kit. IMO Park is the way to go.
