I'll give my own reasons to go Shimano:
1)I travel to France a few times a year to cycle in the hills and when I needed a sparepart it was
far more difficult to find Campa parts then Shimano parts.(In Holland it's much the same btw, but
we have the European headquarters at a 20 minutes drive from my house, so it's maybe unfair to
compare availability here). Parts ordered from Italy took ages to arrive here.
2) Although I find Campa more beautiful to look at, I find Shimano shifts better, though I prefer
Campa's front derailleur shifting.
I also prefer Campa's hidden cables.
3) I once changed the springs of an Ergopower and though I now know I can do it, I am not willing to
do it again. What a job! I prefer paying for a new shifter, so repairability is not a reason to
buy Campa.
4) I went through 3 different Ergobrains cablesets. All failed at a given moment.
