cool
i can see plenty of reasons to get it (or not), but the ease of install one makes me scratch my head. running the internal wires on a modern frame takes 30'? 60'? even if it was 2h, it's a 1-time deal.
for me, ease of install would be SUCH a minor point--i'd only go there if a group had my preferred ergonomics. sounds like sram does for you.
all the top groups are so good. i'd be curious to try etap, but shimano is what i'm used to.
