Does anyone have any experience with the Alfine Di2? I'm considering building up a bike using it. I have used an Alfine 8 in the past but never quite got on with it. It had quite a soft, spongy feel to it, was a pain to reconnect the shifting cable following punctures. The final straw was having to re-index it often, or it would slip out of gear - resulting in many smashed balls and feet unclipping smashing in to the road.
I'm hoping the 11 solves most of these issues....
