I had read that the campione was mostly for racing but the ergos would be more comfortable on longer rides. I don't know if that difference is significant though. Thanks!
It's a good deal. The campione is their entry-level steel racer, but was using the same Reparto Corse frame as the Veloce that year I believe. Deda tubing. Campy. Classic.
As long as it fits you it will be a very comfortable and very nice riding bike. I've never ridden mirage but have had great experiences with other campy groupsets.
