Hadn't seen that model before, looks nice. The only comment I would make is that there doesn't seem to be any easy way to mount full fenders, a must for riding year round in my neck of the woods. I may be wrong, I can see what appears to be rack mounts, the fender mounts may be not visible in the photographs.
Edit: The Alfine and Discs are are a good choice for all weather riding, If you want to protect the chain (and your clothes) look into a Hebie Chaingider.
