In a nutshell, OP has been provided options:
  1. Buy Di2, press buttons
  2. Buy a triple, shift rings without needing to compensate
  3. Buy a non-compact double, shift rings without need to compensate, with either less range or bigger steps than 2.
  4. Buy a 1x, just shift
  5. Or don't buy anything and:
    1. Stay in the big ring until your cadence is way down, then shift down to the small ring, or
    2. Eye the climb, pick your ring early, and shift cogs as needed
With some discussion of superiority of Campy, but I don't think that added a new option. A couple guys need to get a room, and no mention of SS/FG yet.

BF is life.
