What is so compelling about Di2?
Di2 is worth every last cent. It doesn't mean non-Di2 Ultegra is bad (It's not), it's just that I cannot possibly imagine buying another bike without it - yes it is that good. Having to completely eliminate cable issues from powertrain tuning ALONE is worth the upgrade in my opinion. And the speed of the shifts, the ability to rapid downshift while braking, the reliability of the shifts. I sat on the fence about buying it for my new bike and within 2-3 days of riding I was extremely pissed. Not because I bought it, but I had waited so long to get Di2.
