I read a review of the 11 speed Alfine Pompetamine which put me off- the reviewer really didn't like the bike as a whole, despite liking the parts.
Wrong application was the verdict- too much weight, and shifting too ponderous for a lively CX machine.
I'm thinking either 1X10 with a SRAM MTB mech and 11-32, or Ultegra Di2, 12-27+36/46
