one is more expensive, lighter and has more carbon.. the other isn't.
Chorus performance is supposed to be on a par with dura-ace (it's also lighter than dura ace and only marginally heavier than Red) - and to be honest it's hard to justify going beyond Chorus unless this is your lottery win bike and/or you're an undiscovered Cancellara.
If you're worried about the bling factor you could go for the Athena option that has carbon levers and crankset I suppose. Or go for the vanilla groupset and spend the difference on wheels - you'll notice the difference much more there.
