Electronic shifting from what I understand is well liked by those who use it, but a bit heavier and requires recharging a battery every few days or perhaps once a week. A minor annoyance.

Anecdotally, I'm averaging about 1800-2000 miles per charge, so for my volume that's about 4-5 times a year for charging. If you're recharging the Di2 battery every few days, that's some serious mileage.
