I'd save the money and put di2 on the C'dale. It's cheap right now as Shimano is about to introduce a very incrementally new DA and the old stuff is being blown out.
And honestly, there's no way you can do a t1000 bike in Japan for that price. No way.

Greg,
Appreciate the feedback. I do ride a Giant Propel Advanced from time to time and can sense the aero benefit when the speeds are up. But I can also tell the difference on the SuperSix when the 50mm wheels are on it. I do love the ride comfort of the SuperSix, but in reality most training rides are in the 70-80kms range (occasionally up over 100) and often shorter depending on what race is approaching. I have bricks to often it is a ride and then a run.
Where can one find an Ultegra Di2 set up for a good price? I have searched, but my searching skills suck...
I would take my 105/Ultegra set up off the bike and put it on my son's Specialized.
It looks like the Leopard uses T1000 in a few areas and the balance is T800.
I have wasted far greater funds on other unwise purchases in the past. But this one really intrigues me. Maybe I fall directly in the path of their target marketing. Plus, it has a 7 day money back guarantee....
Thanks again to all for the feebdack!
