Good luck with your decision making.
Good point. A Di2 as an upgrade is expensive and hard to justify (I did it anyway as my frame was inexpensive). Purchased on a new bike is worth it. It’s a great system, very reliable, maintenance free mostly and shifts great. If I buy a new road bike in the future, it’ll be Di2.
