Considered that option as well. Always felt quite happy with rim brakes. I already have a good disc equipped allday/gravel/touring road bike. Also I've got a nice rim brake wheelset to put in there. Lastly the disc version is 1kg heaver :/
In that case, the Ultegra 3 is the one to go for, especially the chainset and the lighter fork.
1kg difference in weight mean nothing with the extra braking power, especially if you like to tackle alpine descent.
1kg is quite a lot, most people fret over 100g on a wheelset, 50g on a seatpost etc..
I think the lack of any real descents in my area makes the choice quite easy ;)
