Clunky? You've never used it, then. I love my Suntour Superbe, but modern Campy shifting is anything but clunky. It may weigh more that the old style stuff, but it is very smooth, precise, fast, and quiet.

And you can't compare dual pivot with single side pulls for function. The dual pivots are WAY better.
