Di2 Display

Just took the new Calfee Di2 out for a shakedown ride. This is my first experience with Di2. Our old Co-Motion had regular cable-operated Ultegra derailleurs (3x8) . My observations:

1) I don't have a feel for what gear I'm in.
2) I was constantly shifting the wrong direction (e.g. up instead of down).
3) The chain rubs on the front der cage with front small ring and any of the 3 outboard cogs of the cassette.

So far, I'm not very pleased.

To correct these I'm guessing:

1) Get a Di2 display. Is there one that is recommended? Do these have a graphic representation of front & rear gear position?
2) Get used to the Di2 system until it is second nature about which button does what.
3) Adjust or have adjusted the Di2 system to minimize chainline noise. The dealer that we bought the bike from is not local so I either need to learn to adjust it myself or take it to my LBS (non-tandem) & have them adjust it.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions & experience.
