Ultegra VS Force

Some of you may know that i'm getting a new bike, i finally decided that i'm going for a complete new one and not a frameset.
So i was at my LBS today and saw a few nice bikes and they can custom build them. But now i don't know which way to go, shimano ultegra or sram force.
I don't have any specific needs or whatever. There's is one thing i don't like about campy which i'd like to get rid of now.
Namely when i'm down shifting (when you have to use the little lever behind the brake lever) i often don't push it far enough so it simply doesn't shift.
So if one of the two has a technique where the lever doesn't have to be pushed as far i'd be happy to hear.
Or if you have any experience or thoughts about one of the two or even better, about both please let me know.
I'd like to be as informed as i can be because as a student it's hard to save that amount of money so it has to be spot on
