okay, this is a piece of string question I know but...

you can pick up 10spd Ultegra cassettes in 12-27 for £40 (CRC)

the equivalent DA one is £100! (Ribble)

That's quite a jump. Is it just the weight that's the issue, or do they shift better and/or last longer?

    DA cassettes for your light race wheels.
    They won't last as long as a cheaper steel one like Sram.
    Steel cassetttes for training wheels, unless you've got money burning a hole in your pocket. In which case buy the best.
