Dura Ace 12sp & Red AXS

Hypothetical at the moment due to lack of stock / supply etc….
I’m looking at upgrading my Ultegra Di2 to either Red AXS or new DA12 and I’m stuck wondering on the benefits of one over the over.
The main attraction for DA12 is the new brakes and the weight.
The main plus of Red AXS is the gear ratio, but the weight is heavier than DA.
New DA has hyperglide smooth shifting, but will this be able to compete with the efficiency of AXS?
Thoughts please.

Honestly: I think you will struggle to notice the difference between the old and the new.
As to which one between them - whichever looks best / do you prefer SRAM over Shimano shifting?
If you have money burning in your pocket, go for it, otherwise I'd go on holiday.1 -
Fair points thanks.
Looks wise the Red AXS looks superb.0
