Just letting everyone know that in my experience with juggling chains around lately, I have found the KMC X10SL chain to shift better than an Ultegra 6600 chain.
I tried both brand new today, prepped and lubed the same way, and the KMC was much more crisp.
I think it is because the KMC is floppier side to side. Holding it out sideways, it had noticably more droop. I didn't take any pics because my hands were dirty.

Performance Bike has been selling KMC DX10SC chains as their house brand for $20 to $25 and they're fantastic. Better shifting than the Wipperman 10S0 and Veloce Ultra-Narrow I'd paid nearly twice as much for. http://www.kmcchain.com/index.php?ln=en&fn=find&mo=view&id=616
