Reading the C+ review of the Athena 11 speed groupset it suggests two possible downsides:
1. noisy transmission
2. difficulty keeping it in trim
I'm just about to order a new bike. But should I stick with campag 10 speed or take the plunge and move to 11?
All opinions comments welcome

I've had the Athena 11 speed carbon groupset on my best, summer use only, bike for over a year. It hasn't missed a beat and required no adjustment whatsoever.
Don't believe everything you read in Cycling Plus.0 -
Like it or not, 11 speed is what future Campag groupsets will be, so I would go with 11.
I've been running 11 on one bike since Super Record came out almost 3 years ago and I changed from 10 to Athena 11 on the winter bike last year.
No problems with gear slippage/trim at all. 11 speed does needs to be set-up correctly initially which some people just don't seem to get right. (e.g. pay attention to cable routing, loops and initial indexing)
Athena shifts very well indeed, I recommend it.0
