I have an Ultegra FD for my triple. I got it last year, when I brought the bike to the shop for the umpteenth adjustment to the Tiagra FD that came on the bike, and it broke while the tech was working on it. The only one they had in stock was an Ultegra so they gave it to me for free. It was a big improvement over the Tiagra.

I've been having an issue this summer that I never had before. I mostly ride in the middle chain ring and largest-middle cogs. I've always had to do the extra half-shift when shifting back to the middle from either the small or large ring to stop the chain from rattling. But lately when the road flattens out and I shift from the bigger cogs to the middle, the chain rattles and the only way to stop it is to shift into the big chain ring, then shift back to the middle but not follow that with a half-shift. But then at the next hill when I shift to a bigger cog it starts rattling again. It's very annoying.
