There are a few similar suggestions (except Di2) in this thread.

However, since you moved to Amsterdam, let me ask you a few questions:
  1. Where did you live before?
  2. How far is your commute?
  3. How sad would you be if this bike was stolen?
  4. Will you be using a separate bike for when you want to go into the city?
  5. How often do you plan on recharging the Di2 batteries?
Be aware Amsterdam is one of the worst places for bike theft. Most people use a simple singlespeed, 3-speed or 8-speed for commuting around the city.
