Well Allan you join Shimano from the Trek folks. It seems that you enter categories just to make trouble. In the Trek forum you diss Trek's and claim that Postal rides disguised aluminum bikes. (Maybe they use them to make crop circles too.)
Then you come here and recommend Campy and diss Shimano pricing structure. However you don't ride a Trek and it appears you don't ride Shimano.
I have 10's of thousands of miles on Dura-Ace and Ultegra. The Dura-Ace is a definite step up and not purely cosmetic. It is quite a bit different. Whether this will be true with the 10 speed remains to be seen. I've ridden both and I would not spend the extra money unless there was a reason to do so.
Campy folks have said that Chorus and Record are very similar in performance. That is Campy. Dura-Ace is in another category from Ultegra.
Please don't use your Trek routine of changing your points or nit picking my comments. Just take the input of someone with first hand experience instead of conjecture. You would have been wise to do that in the Trek forum.
