Why do you want to replace two bikes with one?
Alfine bike will be heavier, gear changes are evenly spaced, and will feel odd for a while, as you'll never find that gear that is just right like you can on a normally geared bike, and there will be about half the gears that you never really use.
Replace the SS with the di2 if you want an everyday commuter and keep the cdf for your sportives etc....
Also why di2 and not just common or garden wired alfine? Unless you can get a good deal the jump in price is kinda steep... -
All fine except for spotives. Wouldn't do that on an Alfine. Not sure why...but just no.

I'm debating getting a Genesis Day-one Di2 Alfine to replace my Genesis Croix de fer and Day-one SS.. I just want to know if it will be good as a general alrounder? I love my day-one and commute on it mostly - 10 miles each way with 100ft elevation.. then CDF gets used for the odd commute and then social riding and the odd sportive (800 miles last year)..
Would the Day-one Di2 be a good compromise with the two?
