So, should I go for the swap or keep the Shimano's? Or will the Ultegra/Open Pro's be a better bet overall?

Aksiums would be better, but your not going to be a well built OP/Ultegra in that price range. 550's suck. Suck. Suck. Suck. Suck. Suck. They're like a garuntee(sp) on a box. You might feel OK at first, and it might help you sleep at night, but next thing you know there's money missing from the dresser and your daughter is knocked up.
...seriously they suck.
OP/Ultegra FTW.
