Well.......since then, they've now added the HG701 and that appears to be what most folk are selling exclusively. Of course, the addition of the 105/5800 grade HG600 may be the cheapest answer but I'll spend a few extra bucks for better shifting if it matters.
Can anybody shed some definitive light on the 11 speed chain situation?? (Awaiting the day 11 spd chains drop to $10 like the other old crap)

It doesn't matter
Least expensive compatible chain and cogset..consumables. Spending a bunch more for higher end stuff doesn't work any better or last any longer.
The 5800 chain is a great chain. Hook together first time with the supplied pin, take off to clean, reassemble with KMC snap link..measure often, replace before it kills cogset.
