I worked in a shop and having to service and test ride everything I can say that setup wise there are no real differences. You can service Campagnolo shifters which is nice...
The new 11-speed SuperRecord is an absolute dream and with the Athena range getting a release soon it will be somewhat affordable for us mere mortals.
When not on my fixed gear I ride mostly Shimano equipment but my absolute favourite groupset was my 8-speed Chorus. It actually got better and better with age - three years in it was the smoothest, nicest shifting bike I've ever ridden bar none. But I was taken in by the lure of 9, 10 and soon to be 11 speeds. Were Campagnolo watching Spinal Tap I wonder.....
