Performance KMC chains are brilliant!
 
I just put a KMC chain on my campy veloce bike, and it's so much quieter than the record chain that was on there. I'll admit perhaps the shifting isn't quite as immediate, but between being half the price, the brilliant link decoupling, and being quieter, I'm sold!

oddly enough, i just destroyed my KMC chain in less than a month on my bike. wasn't into it.

PBK always has cheap chorus chains with free shipping.

And campy is too cheap to offer any sort of master link that you don't have to pay for. Unless I snap this chain or something horrific, it's KMC for me from now on.

I'm still running the original KMC chain that came stock on my Campy Veloce equiped Bianchi two years ago. I'm a large Clyde and after many miles still no measurable stretch. I'm quite impressed.

KMC makes a great chain. My favorite chain is their X10SL Gold. Its the lightest chain out there and the thing lasts forever. The gold coating is a wear coating - I'll actually get about double the life out of them over a Ultegra chain.
