- Ultegra is just as light and performs as well as Dura-Ace. I personally
- don't think Dura-Ace is worth twice the cost of Ultegra. Ultegra is not
- as durable but Shimano is not known for being concerned about the
- longevity of their groups. To put it another way, within 3 or 4 years you
- probably won't be able to get any parts for the current Dura-Ace.
