Alfine 8 speed and two ring crank

Hello,
Has anyone checked out the Schwinn site and seen their World Adventure model? Anyway it has that new Alfine group. 8 speed internal hub, two chainring crank. Never seen that before. I figure this must be shimanos answer to the Rohloff. Not as pricey, but still have to deal with a derailer. I'm not sure if still running a front derailer is a good idea. I liked SRAM's concept of the 3X8 duodrive, but I guess that tends to break.Anyhow, as soon as someone gets this ride, let us know whatyou think. I'd offer a link, but don't knkow how to do that.
