Sram Rival.....not impressed

I rode a specialized Specialized Roubaix at a shop yesterday. I was not impressed with the Sram drivetrain.

I went out and read some reviews, and it seems some are very pleased with the system, so perhaps the bike was not setup properly. And I was only on the bike about 10 minutes. But the whole 'double tap' system? I'll pass. Its easy to learn, but that does not make the down shifting any better. Simply seems like a poor idea.

Anyone running this setup and happy with it? Does it grow on you with time?

Side note: The Roubaix was fantastic. A bit heavy for the price (18.4), but awesome handling and acceleration.
