2400 odd grams for the groupo is a bit porky IMO.
Ultegra Di2 over 6700? Almost, but the front shifting on 6700 would win me over.
Buy nice, or buy twice. Then again most people probably think sram red front shifting is amazing, so maybe Ultegra Di2 deserves more consideration.
Oh yeah, completely different cables, computer based diagnostics, groupsets/oem equipped bikes debut before shimano releases the diagnostic kit, so yeah. If you have technical issues, we ain't gunna be able to help ya for a couple months.
Have you had a chance to test ride Ultegra Di2? 6700 shifting is great but I imagine electronic shifting with auto trimming is a vast improvement.
