I've run 6500, 6600 and 6700 Ultegra. They all copped loads of miles and loads of AWESOME POWER™. The hidden cables of the 6700 aren't quite as crispy shifting as I'd have liked but to be fair I have done lots of damage to the shifters crashing them so can't really recall what they were like new anyway. 6500 is tough as old boots and is on my race bike in Oz. Still 'ok' shifting after a kabillion miles and almost zero servicing. If I ever bothered to replace the casstte and chain it'd probably be a little bit nicer.
