9000 is a fine group as it is.
Let Shimano decide for themselves what's to be done next. Not some pro-amateurs giving their "expert" opinion based on their paltry one dimensional experience.
Shimano should take on board all the feedback they can get from their user base. That's if.... they really want to put out a great product that's better than the last. DA9000 is a fine group as of now but it still has some niggles. Everything can be improved upon. Any criticisms,opinions or requests from its users should be taken on board fully and is ultimately what could/will make Shimano's in-house design team work harder. You can't really get much better feedback than non paid customers. Who use and experience their products everyday across the globe. Shimano should develop what people want,not what they think people want. Hopefully they are reading this thread.
