i have both, in real world use, not any difference, you change gear, it happens..simple!
but as far as quality is concerned..obviously the DA is better, rear mech is smaller. YES the new wiring harness is ver good, but both of mine are internal so makes no odds really.
weight, you wouldn't notice a difference on the bikes.
one thing for certain is the DA is faster that the ultegra, not by miles and hardly noticeable, but faster all the same..but what do you expect! if they released the ultegra and it was faster and better than DA then they would be stuck with loads of units they couldn't sell!
if i was in your shoes, and had the cash, id go DA, you already have the callipers and chain set (I presume?) so only the elecs would need upgrading. mixing DA and ULT just looks weird lol.
