Inquiring minds want to know!
I'll be your Huckleberry.
I have a 1986 Specialized Allez SE so I don't hold any bias against Spec.
The majority of my fleet is Campag equipped and I do have a Campag tattoo but I also have a Ti gravel bike with Shimano GRX. It performs very well.
I've been riding and racing drop bar bikes since this was new.
My valuation comment was based on nothing more than my opinion. It's behind the times in terms of all out tech, yet it isn't vintage. It's stuck in no man's land.
