What’s the difference between FSA 5700 compact and Gossamer compact?

I just took a Gossamer compact off of my bike and replaced it with a new 5700 (105) compact. The difference in shifting to the large ring is nothing short of remarkable. The FSA would always be somewhat “vague” in it’s shifts whereas the 105 is repeatably predictable and fast.
