Help needed - choice of Ultegra 6600 or Tiagra 4700 groupsets for my build

[Kernow_T]

OK - appreciate your opinions advice on this as I've yet to decide - hoping the answer should be obvious to me.
Inhibition a choice of 2 groups for my bike-build. Both are used but in very sound cosmetic/mechanical condition given their respective ages.
1. Ultegra 6600 (10sp) possibly with DA 7800 rear mech
2. Tiagra 4700 (10sp)

Is it a case of 6 of 1...... given the quality of Ultegra Vs newness of Tiagra

TIA

Pecking order wins it for me.

New Tiagra, under bar tape cables, same geometry as 11 speed shifters, should be good as if not better than the old 6600

Id go with the tiagra aswell personally. I assume they arr similar prices?

 

[Kernow_T]

£100 forthe Tiagra Vs £130

Of the 2 I'd go for Ultegra but given free choice 105 every time.

Tiagra

Ultegra 6600 was released in 2006, things have come on a long way since then

Thanks all - it seems like I wasn't a complete numpty for seeking advice as I wasn't sure which one. I've plumped for the Tiagra given its newness, slightly keener price and the fact it's a matching group which matches the frame colour.

Many thanks for all your input - it seems perhaps it was a '6 of 1' choice

Benefit of Tiagra is when the parts eventually wear out, they are cheaper to replace too!

There's a storm brewing over at an audio forum - some stupid **** conducted ABX blind tests on a $30 and $3000 piece of audio equipment and the experts couldn't detect a difference.

I'll bet much the same applies to bike gear.
