Thanks - sounds good but nothing compelling enough to make me abandon charging on the go. I like the current hood shape (I've got small hands!), and I'm not sure I would really want any lower gearing - I've got super low already.
I've got most of it to move over, just need to get the hydraulic disc levers, and will probably get new junction boxes and cables, so shouldn't be too expensive.
Will most likely get a mechanical group set for current bike and keep it as a spare / winter / touring / shopping and pub bike. Or set it up for gravel rides (not ideal with rim brakes but I only do it about once a year). In practice though I would just change the wheels on new bike for off-road. [Waffles to self....]
