I’m not a must have the newest type person, I’m attracted to the longer availability of parts. Why buy 8000/9100 series now, only to forced to eBay for parts in a few years.
I am more or less in the same boat. I am happy with my current bike, which has a 105-5800 groupset that is cross-compatible with newer Shimano 11s components. As for parts availability, I figure if I keep my bike long enough this will eventually become an issue.
