It's clearly top notch kit and doubt anyone will poo poo it. But i personally prefer SRAM eTap. I have it on my road bike and the wife's TT bike. Super easy to set up, batteries last a LONG time and when one does go flat, you can swap the front with the rear to finish out your ride while being able to chang gear. As a system, i believe it's a touch lighter than Dura Ace Di2.
I don't think i'll ever had another road bike without eTap on it. The shifting is much more intuitive in my opinion. It takes only about 10 min to become proficient with eTap when riding for the first time. Yet after a few months of riding with eTap, it takes as much or more time to get used to the mechanical shifting of up and down being on the same lever.
