| Personal preference mostly, but here are some reasons I prefer Campy:- the small internal parts are replace-able by a decent home mechanic. And they're in stock all over so you can get 'em quickly. This was handy when I crashed and destroyed my brake/shifter - instead of buying a whole new one for $100+, I bought 2 small parts for $15 and was back in business in a few days. Shimano doesn't do that.- the "feel" is crisper - hard to describe unless you ride both.- Campy shifters can do multi-cog shifts, up and down. Shimano doesn't. - Campy's finish is a little bit more bling factor.- Campy is priced quite a bit higher, if that's important to you. So in terms of value per dollar, you can get some great deals with Shimano.
