While selecting components for my new build I had narrowed the group set selection to either Red or Dura-Ace. Both group sets do everything well, so for me the determining factor in selecting Red was the new brake lever design and the reduced finger force required for braking - nice on long descents.
SRAM did some really nice things (tools, indicators) to make installation so much easier and make the setup go smoothly.
The other thing I will comment on is the Karoo. Having used a Garmin Edge for years I was predisposed to not like the Karoo. But it didn�t take long for me to end up preferring the Karoo. It�s intuitive, integrates well with the group set, easy to install routes and just has a nicer display (compared to my Edge 840).
