As an update, I got an offer to buy used Alfine 8 Di2, where the complete set will cost me about 60% of new Alfine 8 mechanical hub. When adding cost of shifter etc., this looks quite appealing and from what I heard Di2 is really smooth shifting and there is no more hassle with cable tension and wheel removal.
S-A still remains as a budget option, probably would cost about 30-40% of that Alfine set at maximum.
Also I am a bit worried that equipping the commuter bike with Di2 can make it unwise to lock unattended outside, what is one of main points of this bike.
