Bottom bracket for Ultegra
I have an Ultegra 6700 group on a Pinarello ROKH and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for a new bottom bracket? I ride about 200-250 miles a week and am approaching a point where I need a sturdier bottom bracket. I was thinking about a ceramic Chris King. Any other suggestions? Links please if you don't don't mind, any suggestions on a good place to buy it aside from eBay would also be appreciated?

Could be bike shop upselling at work 
But the explanation by my mention of "sturdier" -- I stopped by the shop to get my derailleur hanger straightened out and was told I should look into investing in a better bottom bracket with the mileage I've been putting on my bike. Either way, a DA BB does seem pretty cheap.

the 6700 BB is pretty stout, no matter how many miles you ride. Someone is pulling your leg.

Is it that your so powerful that the new one died after 200 miles? Or is it something else?
