I've got the same bike and have been loving it. Personally the minimalist characteristics of the remote have been a plus, but I will agree with you that seeing the actual battery life and settings in real-time are helpful. It looks like the model you got has the updated controller with the ANT+ compatibility. I hooked mine up to my Wahoo Element so I can see both the battery life and settings while I ride and its been amazing so far.
Rocky also makes a bottle adapter that allows you to run a bottle slightly to the left or right of the sock and I've found its far enough forward that I don't have any contact while pedaling. You can even run 2 bottles at the same time if you want.
Finally, I set mine up with Cane Creek Inline Coil and the new Overtimepack...WHAT A HOOT! I highly recommend.
