The wires of the DI2 system with the battery in the middle that really has no place on most bikes turned me off the shimano system. It seemed so stupid that in this day and age, they included wires in electronic shifting. Now sram is making it hard for me not to go electronic. All my arguments against electronic shifting pretty much go out the window with the sram system. I won't be buying it but if it comes stock on my next bike, I suspect I will leave it on.
