I tried out some SRAM over the weekend and my mind was blown. I like the double tap but properly adjusted Shimano is still nice for me. But with the advantages I might make the leap if I get a job this summer. I really liked the calipers of both, the force stuff especially felt nice, but I also read force and rival are pretty much the same. Either one is probably lighter than what I have now so I wondering about functionality. I heard rival and force were the exact same except for different materials and weights.

Will the performance of rival be on par with force?
Is rival the same with different weights?
How does the throw compare and is it possible to shift really quickly with rival?

Thanks all!
