I use Dura-Ace Triple on one bike and I like it very much. It to me is the perfect triple. The middle ring is a 39. It is set up so you can ride it as a conventional 39 x 53 due to the trims in the front derailleur. With this set-up the 30 is your climbing/bail-out ring. I prefer it to the Ultegra I had since the 39 gives more flexibility than a 42. Not everybody feels this way. Dave T. loves his D/A triples.
I also ride a Record compact and I like that. It is different but shifts fine. The jump is not anything that bothers me. Maybe I am just not as fussy. With a front d for a compact the chain does not drop.
