This is the Crossrip I have. Scroll down for the specs.

The Di2 is completely customizable as far as shifting goes. I have mine set just the away manual shifting works. The switch from manual to electronic was seamless. And the Di2 has a great semi-auto mode that switches the rear gears up or down 2 cogs depending on how I shift the front. If I go from the large ring to the small in front, the rear shifts automatically to put me in the appropriate gear so I'm not suddenly spinning air. It's slick as hell on hills. Well worth the investment.
Take a good look at the Domane SL7. It's not as aero as the Madone, but I think the Di2 will be more beneficial to you than the aerodynamics. And it's still a very light bike.
