Orca M30i with 105 Di2 or the SSE4 with mechanical 12s 105? As a background, I have been riding a 2011 10s CAAD10 daily for the past couple of years and am looking to get into a modern hydraulic disc brake carbon but am conflicted between these 2… Both would be a significant upgrade

For what it’s worth, I’m currently riding an Orca M31eTeam with the SRAM Rival AXS and am really happy with it. I was hesitant about the jump to electronic shifting but it is a pretty great feature that I’m really happy to have.
I tried both di2 and SRAM and came out with a preference for the SRAM setup (there are pros and cons to both I think) but that’s largely a personal preference. The Rival is actually a bit on the heavy side and I want to upgrade the crankset eventually to lighten it up, but even with the weight penalty, I’m still happy with electronic shifting.
Both bikes will be a spectacular ride however!
