Zero loss means less lever throw to shift. On the rear shifter, this is a pretty minor thing. I noticed when I switched from Force to Red shifters, but it wasn't a huge deal. On the front shifter, it was huge, which is why they added it to Rival and Force.

Thanks for the explanation. It sounds a bit like Campy's Quick Shift

I don't think you should limit yourself to Dura Ace and Red. If money really isn't an problem, then surely that puts "overpriced" Campagnolo parts back in the picture, right? And even if money is an issue, Campagnolo parts are not totally outrageous. You usually pay more for cassettes, but get it back in the shifters etc. Also, I think Force is a great alternative to Red, now that they have upgraded it.

I decided to keep the 7800 and get a 705 and some new wheels.
