Details of their 2008 groupset has been released. It appear the biggest winner is for Centaur crankset buyers.

Combining regular and CT FDs into the same unit seemed to be partly profit driven, to reduce the number of product lines. But it does make things simpler for the users too.

You might think it's profit driven but it also makes sense to the consumer. If they swap to (or back from) compact cranks they don't have to buy a new FD.

We got lucky this time I think. ;)
