There are 2 Ultegra Di2 rear derailleurs. 6870 SS and 6870 GS. Can't find the difference between them. Anyone know. The GS weighs more and is more expensive than the SS but I can' t figure out why choose one over the other.

The cages are different lengths. The SS will handle up to a 28T gear. The GS will handle up to a 32T gear.

I've used the SS with a 30, if that's any help to you building off the other poster. With the right chain length it isn't a problem.

This might be helpful to you if you are wondering what works with what. I just happened to randomly see this a couple weeks ago and it encompasses the entirety of my knowledge on the subject ;-) it sounds like the other poster is right, there is not an exact cut off despite what Shimano says.
