A lot of people say that Ultregra is kept artificially heavy to make DA more desirable.
I've not studied the components side by side to have a view on that.
I would take Di2 Dura Ace in a second, with weight penalty.
But, given that my frame is for cables, and the impending obsolescence of the 7900 Di2, I will likely stay SRAM.
If you take the time to look at the weight then you start wondering "why is this so heavy when it doesn't need to be?"
