I found my Campag grouppo pish to set up. Indexing the rear derailleur took about 1 minute, whereas my previous 105 setup needed the indexing absolutely spot-on all the time.
Ergo-wise, I like the shape of the Ergo shifters (using 2008 Record, not the new shape) over Shimano hoods. Haven't used SRAM yet
Shifting-wise, I haven't noticed much of a difference. The Ergos have a slightly more positive action to shifting.
One thing I noticed after using Campag was the ease in which to downshift while braking (i.e. coming to a set of lights). It's harder to modulate the front brake while pushing it sideways on the Shimano setup.
