BTW, the DI2 battery fits in the little storage area, and it still has room for tools and stuff.

Okay, let me get my whinge on again.
Whilst I am sure that Trek has made sure that having that storage area doesn't compromise the structural integrity of the downtube, I can't help but wonder if in reinforcing the downtube to take into account the storage area, we end up with a less than optimal contribution to ride quality(even if that negative contribution is quite small).
In short, I don't like the idea of large cutouts in bike tubes. Small cutouts for cables is as far as I want it taken.
