Campy Record 10 or Chorus 11?

I sort of hate to pose one of those "this or that?" type of questions but some feed back from the gallery would be helpful. I just picked up a new frame and fork and will be building it up. I currently have Campy 10 speed Record on my other bike and, well, there is nothing at all to be critical of with that group; it's 4 years old. For the new bike, I could either go with Record 10 (at closeout) and have the ease of swapping wheel sets back and forth with out changing the cassette depending on which set I want to use with which frame, or, I could move towards the new "generation" of 11 speed stuff. Swapping wheels would involve a cassette change, which is a 3 minute swap. SO, am I better off staying with 10 speed and Record or should I bite the bullet and go with the latest 11 speed group but Chorus? The 11 speed Record stuff is stupid expensive. I have not ridden the new 11 speed ergo levers. I really like my 10 speed Record stuff and it shifts just fine. Oh yea, if I stay with 10 speed, I could possibly avoid the cost of buying another 10 speed cassette that would come with the Record group. What do you think?
