Compact to double

I want to replace my FSA energy compact with a Shimano Dura ace double crankset.
Currently running Ultegra Di2 10spd so looking for advice on how to make this switch.
Should I get DA9000 or the 10spd DA7900? Advantage of the DA9000 appears to be the ability to change the chainrings without having to buy new cranks. Is there any other benefit to spending extra on the DA9000?
Presumably I would need a new longer chain to fit round the larger ring. Would you recommend 10 spd or 11spd (if I go with DA9000)? Cassette will remain the same.
My bottom bracket is BB30 so I am thinking I would need these Wheels Manufacturing adaptors http://www.wiggle.co.uk/wheels-manufacturing-bb30-to-24mm-crank-spindle-shims/ Would these do the job?
What else is there to consider? Would I need to adjust the front derailleur?
Thanks in advance
