I'm not sure if this proves anything, but it's a interesting comparison.

I prefer Sram myself. I have had some durability issues with there rear derailleurs. My third X9 in one year is on it's way. This is a 2007 which supposed to be beefed up. Hopefully this one will last a lot longer.
I'm confused here. You prefer SRAM but have had 3 problems in 1 year? Am I reading that right?
The video is a bit misleading IMO. Not taking sides here because I don't have the experience to make a judgement either way. But the movement you see if at high speeds which isn't exactly your ideal testing conditions for shifting. When you're going that fast you tend to just throw the chain down to the lowest cassette cog and go balls to the wall.
Yes I prefer Sram Shifters and the crisper shifting. The shifting is that much better I'm going to stick with it. The issues I had were all related to a stick getting stuck in the drivetrain. I don't think the old X9's are quite as tough as a XT .The 2007 X9's are built more like the pricier XO's which have a better rep or so I'm told.

that didn't look like really high speeds to me. but i'm in no position to be comparing derailluers.
