My understanding is that Chorus, Record and Super Record are mechanically identical (except that you have more gearing choices with Chorus). I believe the only difference is that Record and SR use more carbon and Ti to achieve lower weights. So, unless I'm mistaken, Super Record shouldn't shift any better than Chorus. It's just lighter. Somebody please correct me if that's not right.
