The SRAM hoods are much more minimalist and I like that. I love the way you can pull back the shift lever on SRAM and downshift with a finger twitch while sprinting in the drops.
sums it up for me, but I must say that the shifting on Di2 is really nice especially since I thought it wouldn't be consistently accurate for some reason.
