Don't think shimano would ever run out of mechs of one type or another. Hummm ever tried to get your hand on a rapid rise 10 or 9 speed rear mech?

Sram cassette is the nicest part they make, but the RRP is £340, XTR is £190. Not directly comparable.X1 cassette is still lighter than XTR, and it's cheaper.

X1 cassette is still lighter than XTR, and it's cheaper.RRP of X11 is £238, XTR is £190.The SRAM one looks like it should sell for under £100. Nothing special about it's construction.
