Well on paper the Alfine is a superior hub, but I'm not sure if I could tell the difference from the saddle. All the bikes I have Nexus 8 or Alfine hubs in are quite different so it's hard to compare.
I'd probably hold out for the Alfine. I'd be surprised if BF wouldn't build you a Season Tikit with an Alfine if you asked nicely.
