Campy cassettes are just so expensive, you can can an chorus level ultegra cassette for less than the cheapest individual cog campy cassette. I really do like those ultegra 11-32 cassettes. Great value.

Good to know that Campy has a 12-32. I rarely use my 11 and would gladly switch it for something in the middle

that is what I mostly use but I do have a 105 and man, it performs as good as the ultegra.

sram cassettes however...

As far as I know, there are actually only two 11-32 from Campagnolo. One is the lower-end Centaur one and the other is the one that was introduced with Potenza but is the 11-32 they offer for all the Potenza and above levels. It’s actually called “Campagnolo” level in the price list / catalog. Build wise it seems basically Chorus level to me...

The hub is campy splined so the fact shimano 11-32 cassettes work also is meaningless, actually, the bike will be friction shifted so it is double meaningless.
Plug and play, typical Campag high quality..'might' need a longer cage rear der depending on crankset, etc.

Friction shifters on 11s..you must have really precise fingers.

2018 will have Centaur be 11s, so expect cogsets to cost less but as has been mentioned, 11s Campag cogsets in the $70 range if ya look..

And nothing at all is different other than the ratio versus anything else Campy...
As an aside to the OP’s question, that bike/setup looks just about perfect!
