Campy builds what people will buy. The new Chorus 12 offers low gearing that is lower than any triple group they made in the past (30/29) and it's priced lower than last year's chorus. Chorus shifters function identically to the top level record or super record, but use aluminum brake levers to cut costs a bit. The carbon crank lacks a fancy clear coat finish to save a few bucks.

If you just want to spend money and score points at the coffee shop, but a super record group, but use a chorus rear derailleur and 11-34 cassette. If you need the lowest gear ratio, only chorus offers the 48/32 crank.
