I am running a XTR but is there any much difference with XTR to XT, I am not that bothered in weight only performance. What’s your thoughts?

Where the benefit of XTR comes is its longevity and weight. It has 'fluorine-coated link pin bushings', a cold forged construction and the best sealed bearing jockey wheels around. This makes XTR super-tough. If you can afford it, I'd go for the XTR. My XTR mech is 10 years old and still going strong!
