Should be easier to service. No adjusting cable tension, routing new cables through frames… Just calibrate through the app and go for a perfect shift everytime.
I have 105 mechanical and can’t fault it really. I have ridden a SRAM electronic shift and it was very nice. But essential, no.
I guess I’m old fashioned too, but it’s pretty funny when you’re out on a ride and your mate has to stop because their derailleur ran out of batteries.
I’ve ever had a shifter cable fail on me in 20 years of riding, including stints as a bike courier and two continental circumnavigations.
Call me old-fashioned but electronic stuff has more points of failure, and seems harder to service?
