just because you spend $3500 on a bike doesn't mean it will come with DA. there are plenty of $3500 bikes with ultegra. hell, there are plenty of $3500 frames out there!

you could plan to put DA on the bike if you can afford it. After all, it's your money and you get to spend it any way you want to. I have a mix of Ultegra and DA, myself.
