I originally had Ultegra shifters on the T2000, but don't remember experiencing that. They were 6503s, (9speed), mated with an Ultegra front mech and Ultegra cranks. Probably just a difference in our setups.
With mine, I overadjusted without losing the big ring, but wanted the multitude of trim positions with the Campy plus a couple of features available with the Ergobrain that the Flightdeck didn't offer.
