Yeah, I hear ya on the matching compulsion. Thing is, I've already broken that up with a Superbe brakeset. I love their design, so I couldn't resist. The crankset is a Sugino Super Mighty drillium, that has red enamel in the channels, so it's all kind of mixed, outside of being Japanese. Then the wheels throw that off because I've got nice Campy there.

I suppose I'm most curious to check out the functioning difference between the cage lengths. Seems worth the experiment if not for that alone.

The silent and stealthy shifting endorsement is also very enticing!
