Ugrade 5800 shifters to ST-R7000?
The LBS recommends doing a shifter flush on my 5y old 5800 road STI shifters and I'm wondering if I should take that $40 and just get some new ones. Anyone upgraded these shifters is there any difference in performance? Looks like Ultegras are only 50 more?

In my very humble opinion, there is no meaningful difference in overall performance between the R5800 and the R7000 STI's.

You know you want to .... so I will encourage you to make the upgrade.
Please send me the old shifters as a reward for my support.
