That indeed is a good question. I love my Veloce, as I mentioned before, and would still choose it over Ultegra, but that's just because I have this fetish for Italian stuff. Ultegra is nice, too. I used it for years with no problems. Motobecane is a fine frame as well. I wasn't paying close attention, is that a steel Moto as well? If so, it's a close call. I would still get the Bianchi, but I just love the company and its history. Sorry if my response is wishy-washy, but I think you'd be happy with either one.
