I'm considering doing a new build right now, and am really torn over Potenza, primarily because shift gear is not cross -line compatible, meaning that Chorus/Record shifters are not compatible with Potenza derailleurs and Potenza shifters are not compatible with Chorus/Record derailleurs, so I'd be kinda stuck with Potenza. Probably it's not a big deal, but if Chorus weren't $300 more, I'd definitely go Chorus.
