Currently I am running Di2 RS785 w/ Ultegra R8000 derailleur. Brand new gravel build. Juts heard from the shop that the R8050 Di2 Hydro levers came in. Anyone have experience with both? Lever feel and better shifting sensations ( clickiness) worth the swap?

thanks

The new Ultegras feel MUCH nicer in the hand, less like a hydro one, and more like a good mechanical brake Di2 lever. Plus the reach is less, the 785s were pretty "long," but the 8070s feel so much like the standard Di2 shifter.
Big improvement. Buttons are "clickier" too, if that's a thing.
