Chorus 12 is a downgrade all around (for the one extra cog).

The downgrade is minor, I'd say, after owning two groups for a few weeks now. The shifters and FD works better than chorus 11 and the rear shifting is better. The shifters now have the small hand adjustment on the brake lever. The 48/32 crank and 11-34 cassette were just what I needed. The brakes look the same, except for no aluminum fasteners. The shift cables are the same as all other 12 speed groups.
I have no regrets about selling my 2018 chorus 11 parts and buying chorus 12. I did keep the chorus 11 brakes on one bike. If don't need a new crank, the 11 speed will probably work.
