Upgrading to di2 for $500?? Maybe with older gen used parts, def not new, but even used I haven't seen di2 that cheap.
But yeah, about a grand to jump from mechanical to di2 sounds about right. The parts alone are that much if you buy them from Merlin (cheapest I've found), and then you still have to install them.
100% worth it, imo.
