I know the latter is newer, but what's the functional difference other than the top button on the hoods?
They feel a bit nicer, shift a bit nicer, look a bit nicer.
But if the mechs are the same, how will they shift any different?

Shifters make loads of difference to how well a shift works. I'd much rather have expensive shifters and cheap mechs than the other way around.

Isn't it though the other way around with di2?
Ah, sorry, misread as 8020 and wasn't talking Di2. I've been drinking 🙂
You are indeed correct. The braking on the 8020/8070 is improved over the 685/785 though.
Wasn't there something about the hood covers going baggy on the old stuff which is not the case on the new stuff?
I thought there were mostly RS685s who went baggy?
