I do have one comment on what Campagnolo can do better, get rid of those thumb levers. I'm probably not the average rider but I find them uncomfortable and they sit in the way of where my thumb would naturally rest.
Of course I've met other people who love them so maybe they should keep it for those riders and I can just suck it up.
Different horses for different courses I guess in the end.
Either way I'll probably stick to SRAM AXS for future bikes.
Happy and safe riding.

I love the thumb lever on my Chorus 10. I didn't understand the lever arrangement on Ultegra 10 and that's on reason I went with Chorus at the time. And as I was riding even yesterday I like being able to shift 7 or 8 cogs at a time in one motion.
One thing I didn't see mentioned yet in this thread, but maybe I missed it, is that every Campy part requires a special tool also. It gets ridiculous that you pay a premium for a part and then have to buy the tool to install it or remove it. I've hacked a lot of tools for that.
