I agree, the lower end Campy stuff is pretty decent.
I like Veloce, but I also like Centaur.
All I've had to do with the Centaur groupset on my Alu Cross is take a little cable stretch out in the last two years of use.
Clean the drivetrain, add a little NFS and keep riding.
I could see a new cassette and chain in the fall, but that's about it.
