I'll be swapping out my SRAM X5 10 speed to the Rohloff hub next month, looking forward to the modification!
One benefit you will also have when swapping to a Rohloff is longer gears because with a 11-32t cassette and a 52t chainring, 52x11 is quite short, the R&M Touring Birdy has a 9-32t cassette with the same 52t chainring which provides a much longer 52x9 gear.
