And I don't see Shimano going wireless. SRAM has proven the naysayers correct. 4 batteries is four times as much to take care of and four times as much to go wrong. Having just one charge port is very convenient.
It’s only the inner OCD kicking in for the ultimate “clean” look. Moving beyond that I agree with all the disadvantages of the wireless. I have trouble keeping up with charging of lights, radar, bike computer, so definitely don’t need to add on top of that.
Other than that, I’m having difficulty coming up with reasons not to. I was contemplating a Di2 Ultegra bike for next spring, but now for the group set price one can get a whole bike. Yes, the rest of the components are mediocre, but again, for the price of the group set, you can have it delivered right to your door and be riding within an hour. There’s something to be said about that kind of convenience.
