... apart from the 1lb weight difference.
It's like when Shimano say that 105 feels exactly the same as Ultegra- they're implying that it is basically just as good apart from a bit of weight. And yet everyone buys Ultegra if they can afford it. Weight still matters (or the badge)
I think it's an interesting talking point.
I agree with this :-)
That's not right though is it? 105 and Ultegra have different hoods and internals in the shifters.
Ultegra and DA on the other hand...
yeah, that's my point. It is marketed as "basically the same" but it isn't
