I was looking up online what others think of the changes to sram and DT 2.0 wheels and apparently they are quite heavy. I don't notice a lot of difference between the shifting once you get used to the sram double tap but was curious about others opinion.
I think that you got a new bike....so Congrats!
As to Shimano vs. SRAM, it is just a preference thing. I am a Shimano woman but can change to SRAM if the price is right for the quality.
