For those saying there's no benefits to di2, I'll mention a few that make a big difference for me, no cables (I've broken several), shifting under load, shifting while braking. Those alone are enough to justify the cost for me, but different strokes for different folks, ride what works for you.
You had a chance to buy Sram Rival Etap quite a while ago. But being this is a Shimano thread, I probably shouldn't mention trickle-down has already happened.
