11 speed is so much better. I ride for hours, days, and never a false or missed shift. Shifting between the rings is precise and dependable, and requires much less force applied to the lever. The feel of, and feedback from, both levers is decidedly superior to the 10 speed counterparts. The only thing these 2 generations have in common is the name 105.
I can't disagree with this assessment of 10 sp 105, specifically 5700. Left shifter requires a lot of force to use. Right side is finicky.
