As far as I can see, nobody is talking about the Canyon bikes and how they have a decent sale on (which ends today I should add). So, I have a budget of around £1500 to £1800, and I have been considering both of these.
Canyon Ultimate al 9.0 with SRAM Force

Canyon Ultimate al 9.0 with Ultegra Di2

I'm really stuck with which of these to go for ( obviously I would consider other bikes if they were to be better value for my money) mainly because there isn't a huge price difference and its mainly about the groupset. My current bike has 105 on it and I quite like it, but I have used SRAM in the past and I thought it was extremely good.
So if this was your £1500-£1800, what would you buy?

Not sure anyone can decide for you if you need to go Di2.
The Canyon AL with a lightweight groupset and decent wheels is a very very good combination.I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles0 -
Only thing I'd say that if you have multiple bikes make sure they all change gear the same way. Going back and forth from my old tourer's Sora to Dura-Ace / Ultegra on my other bikes was comical sometimes.http://www.strathspey.co.uk - Quality Binoculars at a Sensible Price.
