Sram Rival
Would I notice a difference switching from Sram Rival to Force bike derailures / shifters?
I just got a new bike w/ Sram Rival derailures & shifters. I have an opportunity to buy Force shifters for $200 and wondered if it would really be worth upgrading the shifters ( and later the derailures) or if I'd notice the difference.
Does anyone having experience with both have any thoughts?
Any weight savings at this point really does not matter to me.

I have ridden Rival, Force, and Red extensively. In my opinion, Force and (especially) Red do not offer any advantages in shifting precision and the weight difference is nowhere near enough to warrant the swap from Rival to Force.
