Upgrading to 10 speed needed a clutch mech will the m780 shifter work with my hope matchmakers , I’ve ordered the bar mount. Are the gear windows removable do they come with blanking plate.

Get a Zee one. Doesnt have the facility for a window. It’s a nice shifter.

I had the same dilemma a few weeks ago. Went with Saint over XT and Zee in the end and I’m glad I did.

The extra long levers make a noticeable difference over the XT whilst the double downshift is an advantage over the Zee.

Plus the iSpec Saint fits well with the XTR Hope Matchmaker clamp.
