My latest bike has a Rohloff. It is performing very well and in the process ruining me for derailleurs. A Rohloff isn't an inexpensive IGH but wow, it is amazing. I don't notice any real loss, but I didn't with my SON hub for my last bike either.
Shifting at will is really addicting. I love my Rohloff.
