Mixing Chorus 10s and 11s components?
Even though I've ridden for 20 years, I've just gotten into turning my own wrench -- so excuse the novice questions.
With that said, I saw an online retailer selling 5-piece Campy sets (RD, FD, chain, cassette, shifters). Does this mean I can leave my current Chorus 10s crank (~2010) and effectively go to the 11s world without buying a new crank?
If so, what's the consensus -- Chorus or Record? Super Record is clearly over the top -- $500 cassettes, no thanks. However, the price jump on the above components from Chorus to Record isn't that big and I wonder if it is worth the upgrade.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The crank will be fine.
As for Chorus vs. Record, I'd say go Record if you can afford it. But IMO, no major differences between the two, just finish and weight. FWIW, Chorus though is the best bang for the buck.
