According to the product specialist

Pros
The eTap system provides super responsive wireless shifting
The hydraulic brakes are powerful and have good modulation
Great shifting performance, high shift speed and smooth shifting while out of the saddle.
Semi-wireless: there is still a cable connection between the battery, front and rear derailleur. Easier mounting and little chance of cable breakage.
You can bleed the brakes without unscrewing the caliper from the frame. Very handy!
With Di2 electronic shifting, you must adjust the derailleurs once and they will adjust themselves automatically in the future.
10% more space between the pistons, reducing the risk of rotor rubbing.
Cons
This shifter-brake system is hydraulic. Your frame needs to be suitable for hydraulic brakes!
80 grams heavier compared to the Dura Ace R9270 disc brake set.
