Funnily enough my friend has recently bought an Enigma Etape with Ultegra Di2 and he loves it. He admits its not quite as "pretty" as my Demon but as a tool to do the job he's absolutely over the moon with it. Without the racks/guards its as fast (if not faster) than any of the carbon race bikes he's previously owned (I put this down to the fact that it was custom built and he has of proportions so the Etape fits him better). His other bikes are redundant since he got it. I thought he was mental going for Di2 on a "touring bike" but it seems he can't be too wrong in the head if there's someone else with the same set up :-)
I am a bit envious that you've got to the stage where you're not precious about giving the Enigma a hard time. I've got to get over that yet with the Demon. It's a bloody touring bike with guards on so its going to take a few knocks along the way. I think once the first tour is out the way then I'll be less precious about it and may even be prepared to take it out on wet roads :-)
We're setting sail on the Wednesday after BH Monday returning on the Saturday so a relatively short trip but I'm massively looking forward to it. I'll keep an eye out for you!
