For me - and I write this as someone with ample funds and a new-ish Di2 bike -- I would not upgrade an existing bike. While Di2 is nice, and has a few tricks up its sleeve, it doesn't really shift any better than a good, well-maintained mechanical drivetrain.

But let's be honest here: If the OP is asking, he's gonna do the upgrade. He's just looking for enablers.
Im surprised you find that Di2 is no better a shifting system than mechanical. As I follow the posts above, everybody (including myself) who has Di2 has stated they will not go back to mechanical. The presumption is that it shifts much better as the reason.
