I've ridden Campy chorus on my custom bike for over 10 years and approximately 50,000 miles. All original. Yes, Campy shifts more easily. I've been told that Campy is more easily repaired.
I have Shimano on my mountain bike and road Shimano on my old road bike. It's OK - but Campy is just so much smoother. When you barely touch that lever and it quietly clicks into the next gear...Heaven on Wheels!
It is said that when you're coasting the idlers are whispering "Campagnolo, campagnolo..."
As they say -- it only costs $5 more to go first class. I couldn't see saving a few bucks on something that I was going to have for a long long time. Besides, I don't smoke, drink or bet the ponies, so I figured I needed an addiction.

To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.
