I picked up Di2 for the Merlin I built last year. I didn't think I would ever go that way in large part to expense and practicality. Mechanical ALWAYS worked great. THEN, I road them! I would liken it to say the difference is just shy of: Electric is to mechanical as clipless is to toe straps. BUT, I road Etap last week and believe when my stainless frame comes back from repair, I may very well have to go that way! So smooth, easy, cost efficient and self serviceable.
I would listen to Eric H & intakexhaust! But, with Interbike less than 2 months away, reviews, pricing, and OE orders, I can't see it available till after the new year.
I'm waiting!!
