If looks are defined by Bling Factor, then I would say that Ultegra is like the Chevy sedan and Dura-Ace is like the Cadilac. Thing is I did not choose Ultegra on looks. Now if looks are defined as the impression of quality (which is as subjective and in the eye of the beholder as bling) then Ultegra is of lesser quality than Dura Ace. I have a drivetrain that just works. I've put 1200 miles on my bike now and the only adjustment I made to shifting was accidntal when I twisted the wrong adjuster when I wanted to tighten up the brakes. Now as far as price to bling ratio Shimano is not gouging the customer. Their factories are at maximum production. The price is due to supply and demand. That's just good business practise to price what the market will bear for your product. I'll get off my soapbox now. Post Extras
