In the time since my post and your post I had decided Di2. It makes no sense to go cabled really and I can't see myself jumping on the wireless (SRAM etc) stuff (Ultegra is my idea for that).
It won't be long before Di2 go wireless in 2016 as SRAM is already is.

Hopefully my bike will allow for that in it's design.

inline seatpost and you can use a longer stem.
Not exactly how it work, inline seatpost allow you to move the saddle forward if it's too far back still on a layback.

If you're putting it forward just to shorten the reach, you'll compromise comfort.

I will ask the question. If I can go up to like 100/110 and not compromise the concept of the geometry then I'd say I will go for it (but I will live with 90mm if not).

Slacken the headtube angle a bit, and increasing the fork rake will help shorten the top tube by a centimetres.

e.g. 71 degree headtube with a 50mm rake fork.

But then again, you wouldn't like how it look.
