What is this talk about triple chainring shifting being imprecise? In my experience, Ultegra 9 triple shifting (which I have on two bikes) is perfect if you have both Shimano shifters and crankset. If it is set up precisely, it works perfectly and you never miss a shift, front or back. I also have Record shifters on one bike. Front Campy shifting is analog compared to digital Shimano.
With a triple chainring, the gaps between the chainrings are smaller than with most doubles, and therefore the shifts are smoother. Most of my friends who have switched to compact doubles have had trouble getting them set up so as not to drop the chain when shifting to the small chainring. You don't want to be behind someone in a pace line going up a hill when he shifts down from the big ring to the small one under load.
