Chain Wear on New 10-speed

My new Lemond BA is about two months old and has maybe 550 miles on it with not much climbing. I weigh about 225 lbs. A clicking in the drivetrain developed that I thought was BB trouble, but mechanic's first diagnosis is: chain wear. Bike has been ridden wet but I keep the chain oiled pretty well with Dumond (sp?) light.

Wrench said that is not unusual mileage for a ten-speed chain... but I'm not so sure. Looks like it was an Ultegra chain... should I try a SRAM or what? Thoughts/advice is welcome.
