More information is the only cure for the disinformation disease you have recognized.
Not for nothing, but I put Centaur on my Cinelli last year because it was significantly less expensive than a 105 or Rival groupset. The Centaur came from GB, and I checked out GB pricing and US pricing on the 105 and Rival and could not beat it. I am not saying that the three are comparable, only that those are the three I compared.
Another plus with several of the GB sites is that you can mix and match components from different levels, and see a price reduction by doing so. If you piecemeal a Shimano or SRAM groupset, the bleeding doesn't stop.
