Does anyone find that the XT shifting isn't very crisp like one would expect? Compared to SRAM's 10/11spd offering it seems a little noisy shifting up - or could it just be that it's brand new and needs to 'wear in' a little?

Mine started a touch rough feeling, but after 100 miles it's smooth, quick quiet and generally really impressive.

No problems so far, running XX1 on my AM bike and new XT on my HT.
The only issue I have so far is that the XT cassette gearing is so well spaced that you don't get the big drops that you get with XX1, useful when your climbing and working your way through the gears, almost like having a 'granny gear' every 2 changes...but that could just be me, I'm a lazy climber.
