The Shimano rep was at the shop I work and brought a Scott Addict with it on, and let all the techs ride it. It does feel much different from previous versions, the rear shifter and der. shift more crisply with a more pronounced click (I especially like this) and the front shifter and der. shift faster then before.
The hoods are comfortable but just not as good as before. My only real complaint is if you use the new shifters you have to use the brakes since Shimano change the cable pull due the "new cable routing".
The biggest things that I liked are the shifting, looks and the way they bolt on the chainrings, no more t nuts to mess with. I'm glad that they finally went to under the tape routing it looks so much better
