As for Di2, I have ridden every variety of Di2 from the beginning -- including the original DA version before etube. Right now, I have Dura Ace Di2 on one bike and Ultegra Di2 on another. There is absolutely no functional difference between the current Dura Ace Di2 and the current Ultegra Di2. Except for coloration and perhaps a few grams weight difference, they are the same. Di2 is extremely reliable and low maintenance -- less maintenance than a cable actuated system. (And there's just one battery to monitor.) I would recommend Ultegra Di2. You can alter shift patterns, button functions, shift speed, etc. to get exactly the shifting you want.
I also have current Utegra and DA DI2 and I was wondering if the DA battery lasts more than twice as long as the Ultegra for you or if I have it shifting against the stop or a weak battery. Today the DA was at 80% after a month but the Ultegra is at 30%. I can't tell the diff between the 2 and I really love DI2.
