That is an awesome setup. I'll definitely keep that hub in mind. I found the SRAM i-Motion 3 closer to the Nexus 8 in terms of efficiency and soild gear changes. Another thing I could have down was keep the SRAM 3 speed and gear the bike up a bit.
P.S. That clickbox thingy on the outside of hub is a bit fugly.
