If a few grammes and having "better" letters matters, yes. Else, save 40 Euros and gain a more durable middle ring 🙂

XT.
Unless risk of trashing bike-go SLX.
I have some SLX turn up for my tourer and it's all good stuff.
XT seems a bit better quality, lighter and steel instead of plastic bits but the same mechanisms.
$40 more? well I would but I buy on bling, weight and not just it's use.
Depends on your riding style/where you ride and what you do.

type of riding?
alps, big hills, little bike park.
it's only the levers that look blingier, don't the calipers look the same?
