Got an update straight from Giant on the 2019 lineup.
No top of the line Pro 0 for 2019.
Pro 1: Ultegra Di2, in Rainbow Black (colour shifting black with a tinge of sparkle, similar to the new Shiv paint, very cool)
Pro 2: Ultegra mechanical, in black/grey/"neon tangerine" (orange)
Frameset: black/grey/blue
Advanced: 105, black/green
The reason for this is that there has not been enough market demand for the top of the line Dura Ace Di2 model, "since most people at that level build a custom bike from our framesets." Makes sense. The difference between Ultegra and Dura Ace in TT setup is mostly weight, and not that much either. Much more bang in the Pro 1.
Also for 2019, the Pro 1 comes with Giant's new in-house dual-sided powermeter, which raises the price by only ~$200. Word is, this powermeter could potentially be offered aftermarket, for a fraction of what other manufacturers charge.
