this could get interesting!
Kahuna - maybe you could develop a split screen so that both the Campy Forum and the Shimano Forum could be on the screen at the same time (obviously, Shimano would be on the "right" side of the screen! ). Then we could lob insults and slurs at each other!
Just kiddin'......

Actually i bet some people could really hurl all kinds of distasful insults against the Shimano clan and the Campy clan, however it really all comes down to what you like and what works for you,aka personal preference.

Kahuna is the wrong guy to ask about stoking the fires, since he owns bikes set up with both.
Kahuna is biking's version of Switzerland. As a matter of fact, I rode his Spectrum the other day - newly rigged out with D/A 7800 - and it was quite the tasty ride.
Can't we all just get along?

IMOHO there should be no fires. The differences between modern Campy and Shimano are now minor as I see it. Having a brand preference is a personal thing and cannot be justified by any kind of technical or quality superiority between the brands. I'm getting Ultergra 10 speed on my custom Tetra Pro. I would just as well be satisfied with the equivalent in Campy. I would have insisted on Campy due to the better (in my opinion) brake hood ergonomics but the new Shimano brake hoods have changed and are now so similar to the Campy hoods that it is a wash.
