Looking again at these, there are
Super Record
Record
Chorus
Athena
Centaur.

So Athena is a higher level than Centaur though the inner mechanisms are the same. You can even get Athena with the all Carbon levers which you can't get on the Centaur anymore.

I'm not sure that anyone not interested in pure looks would be interested in CF levers since the aluminum levers don't scratch easily and the difference in wright is in the single grams.

The Campy Chorus 9 speed aluminum levers looked awful after a couple of years. The anodized layer wore off at the spot where your fingers rest on the lever when riding on the hoods and turned blackish. CF levers with the clearcoat don’t do that.

I can confirm Lou's comments. After going out and looking at my Campagnolo levers. My 1998 Chorus aluminum 9 speed Ergo levers look awful now. The middle of the lever where your fingers rest is all black/gray now. All the silver aluminum is gone. The name CHORUS is printed down the front of the lever. The C and H and most of the S are still visible. All the middle is that gray/black and no letters are left. Even the paddle has lots of specks and dots of the silver aluminum coming off. The paddles are solid. On my slightly newer Chorus 9 speed aluminum Ergo levers, 2005 + or - a few years, they look much better. No silver aluminum coming off at all. All still silver color. The paddle now has the cutout, its not solid anymore. The middle Chorus name is still all capitals but is smaller letters and inside a black background. This newer Chorus 9 speed lever is still all silver aluminum in color. My slightly newer carbon Record 10 speed Ergo levers are still looking perfectly new. They are about 2006 or 2007. Beautiful. So Campagnolo learned how to make aesthetic changes over the years.
