the auto front trim alone is worth the money.

You find yourself shifting in/out of the big ring a lot on those bike paths ?

The inner ring is almost virgin on my new bike (the innermost of 3 on my old one equally untouched) but as I'm up and down the cassette I would normally be trimming the front to avoid chain rub.... but Di2 does it for me. Which is nice.
