Powerdome is the hollow red cassette that shaves weight off as its machined from a block of material. It seems to make loads of noise from the reverberation and doesnt shed dirt very well. Most people ride the force one as its cheaper and sounds better and the pros switch them out in races like the roubaix as they dont trap mud either
I have been on force 2010 for a while now and really like it coming from a shimano background. Its very light and really intuitive after a few rides. It should be noted that it is louder than my old shimano but i think the ergonomics and the more positive shift engagement outweighs this.
I run a KMC X10sl chain which seems to be favoured by sram users as you can take it off and on to clean without stupid non reusable pins and it seems to give a quieter overall set up.
