Um I just look down at it - can still see it perfectly from that position but it's out of the way when I'm tucked in sitting on the top tube going downhill really fast. Had it on the stem in the beginning .... then I had nowhere to put my neck if I tucked in. If that makes any sense.

With Di2's as well?!?!?!
This is the type of thing that would make me rubberneck so hard I end up flying over the handlebars because I crashed looking at it.
I've never ridden a tandem - trust issues.
Anyways on a Tandem who does more work? How does that whole thing work and feel to ride.
Anyone with personal experience please feel free to answer.

Depends. You have to pedal the same cadence because the cranks are locked instep by the timing chain. But you don't have to push as hard if you don't want The beauty of the tandem is two riders of disparate abilities can ride together both working at their max, together.
We have Garmin Vector pedal we'll put on, so we can see the power out put of captain and stoker, and each pace accordingly.
High end tandem with race geometry, and a team in synch with each other is remarkably similar to a single road bike. We've done a number of road races on the tandem and even a criterium. On group rides we can hit corners hard enough to gap single riders behind us.
Tandems fly on the flats and downhill because of the aero advantage. They give up a bit climbing, but two fit riders on a tandem will still drop single riders that are a little bit less fit.
