I personally saw someone have to ride a beat-a-rental for 3 days in Sicily because none of the mechanics could get his electronic campy to work right. IN ITALY. And ultimately a system reset got it working, it wasn't even a parts availability problem.

Sample size one, and I personally would NOT use that to mean I should avoid Campy.

(However, in the US, the general incompatibility with pretty much everything else that's readily available does make campy a really hard sell for me.)
