And at the $5300, I would still want the XXX4 wheels for another 2k. Now I'm looking $7300. I can take my bike, add the Di2 shifting and the XXX4 wheels for $3600 and shave .23 lbs from it's current weight. I can't justify spending 5300-7300 to save 1lb. of weight. Make sense? See, that is why I originally asked if "I was crazy", it cost considerably more money to buy a new bike vs upgrading my 1 year old bike.
