• irritate me to see SRAM shifting with ultegra brakes and cranks.

    Nah, ironically found front shifting to be excellent with the Shimano chainset (as they're pretty well engineered for the price), and even cassette felt like it shifts better than SRAM's own.

  • Shifting performance is directly proportional to the amount of Shimano fitted to the bike

    How do Shimano brakes improve shifting performance? :)

    Ed's spot on; Shimano cassette ftw, but SRAM dérailleurs' initial set-up is easier and they stay set up for longer.
