There was no learning curve when I first started riding 105s (leisure cyclist on a mtb beforehand) but there seems to me to be a huge learning curve with double tap. Up shifting works beautifully I will admit but down shifting I struggle with a lot. I miss gears, sometimes it up shifts when I want it to down shift, because I didn't swing the lever far enough, etc.

I don't really have an issue with the front derailleur like someone else mentioned, actually downshifting works probably better than it did on my 105 set.

Again, most of this might be learning curve but it's been about 500 miles in the past month and find it frustrating. I do like the way the cranksset looks though, aesthetically speaking.
I've been using Sram for years and I still miss downshifts, it's just kind of the nature of the group. You'll get better at it though.
