Dura Ace 7800 to change or not to change

Apologies for this being my first post but I am in a dilemma..

I have just purchased a beautiful Colnago Master X Light that came fitted with DA 7800 full groupset . I ride Campag Record on my Daccordi Griffe and generally love Campag but the Shimano DA is super smooth and changes gear beautifully.

Call me old fashioned but I am struggling with using Shimano on such a lovely frame but the groupset is like silk. Anyone else running DA 7800 on an steelie?

Re:

Yep, 7400 8 speed on my 1986 De Rosa that I use for long distance travel.

It's really very good and nice and shiny too. I'm not so keen on the looks of anything after that though.
 
Re:

I am ok with the looks bar the brake leavers which I think look a little busy. I quite like the cranks as they look a lot more traditional than the latest wacky cranks. Even Campag has gone ugly with there latest cranks. Erring towards buying a Mid 2000 record groupset now with Carbon cranks and deurallier.
