Cassette Wear Data Point
First few rides of the year down, first ride was awful because turned out our cassette was worn out. With a new chain skipping was terrible in the largest four (ti) cogs of a Record cassette with about 1800 miles on it. I think I probably did one interim chain change too.
Chorus for us from now on. The ti cogs on the Record didn't last long!

Which cogs were worn? On my half-bike, I have a compact crank, and so I'm usually in the small cogs on the Record cassette. These are steel, but still wear out too fast. I've replaced these several times, while my larger Ti cogs are still fine.
I used this cog switching as an opportunity to go from 13-29 to 12-29, by skipping the 16t.

Are these 11sp or 10sp? It's becoming extremely difficult to find 10sp Chorus cassettes. The ones I do find are very expensive. I had to switch to Centaur. They are single steel cogs so are a bit heavier.

I noticed that the 10sp are more expensive than 11sp.

There are 3 12-25s on eBay at $170: https://cgi.ebay.com/CAMPAGNOLO-CHORU...9#ht_742wt_789
But you are right, the 10sp are a little hard to find. I will probably lay in a small supply ...
