New build coming up for cross in the next couple of months. Had ordered the r785 but due to a mailing snafu was sent back to PBK. In the intervening time I see that shimano has released the new ultergra Di2. would folks wait to see how the ultegra gets reviewed and then make a decision or just go with the tried and true r785? Looks like European ETA is August.

I haven't played with either, but I'll bet the new hoods are smaller. If that's a concern, wait. If not, more training on em the better for those 'in the heat of battle' moments

I've also read the buttons 'click' slightly differently. Better? Dunnio
