Funny, I was just deciding between these and Shimano, and I ended up going with SLX 7000s. In the end it came down to Shimano's brilliant preload and pinch bolt mounting style...... Had RF included a self extracting bolt/cap, the decision might have gone their way, but there was no way I was going back to the 90s to remove the crank. Also, no preload made me nervous in terms of side-to-side play.
