Personally, which is subjective observation, the Moots is the best bike I've ever own! I've had a collection of steel, aluminum, carbon fiber and several titanium road bikes over the years, all bought used, saves tons of money! I prefer rim brake(since dwelling in the land of flat landers, IL) over disk brakes, unless I lived in the mountainous regions of the USA, disk brakes are better going down the mountains, but difficult to align the caliper and rotor to prevent rubbing, slows you down! Good choice! I happen to have the same model and the fork is reverse to your fork.

On the fork...I think sometime in the late 2000's Moots changed the fork. Also, my fork is an RSL fork...not sure if that makes a difference or not.
Mine rides great!

Well...Di2 and Rohloff don't work together. Granted you could get the frame made for Paragon slider drops like my Carver....Hopefully Shimano does a refresh of Alfine, STAT, to make their IGH hub suck less....gear spacing oddities, 135mm bolt axle only, and IIRC the Di2 actuator is a pain on while mount/unmount.
it has been designed to interface with Bosch Mid Drive electric motors..
in eBikes ...
motor pauses power, momentarily, for gear shift.
