Anyone running SRAM Force?

I've got old Campy Record Ergopower from the mid 90's and its time for a bike upgrade next year. I like my Ergopower, but have my eye on a bike with SRAM Force. Have not been able to test ride it yet and have never actuated their DoubleTap levers. I've raced on Dura Ace STI in the past, but Shimano is a little too buttery smooth shifting for me. I like more bam-bam-bam shifting resolution. When I hit the next gear on my Campy it is very positive and resolute.

Thoughts on Red / Force 22 etc. appreciated. I have a lukewarm opinion of SRAM due to the mountain bike Grip Shift I had 15 years ago which was rubbish, but things change.

I've looked at and heard nothing but good about Di2, but something about batteries for shifting and the ability to flash the firmware in my derailleurs is just a bit...overboard.

Thanks...
