Thoughts on these please…

Available next month depending on who you believe.
A couple of months ago I bought myself a new bike with SRAM Red AXS. The bike it replaces had a wired Di2 setup, but that had ”sprint shifters” fitted as standard. What I thought was a cool gimmick when I bought it turned out to be something I used a lot, so I miss them with the SRAM setup.
Pros are they exist and they’re truly wireless, so it would just be a bit of optional bar taping if I wanted to cover the clips. Cons are the units look ****ing massive compared to my old Di2 jobs (which sat neatly under the tape with just the little button poking out) and the batteries can’t be replaced. SRAM claim between a 4 and 10 year battery life depending on use, but it just feels a bit wrong.
No I’m not interested that you still use cables and down tube shifters.
