I was worried about that when I went to XTR Di2 on my trail bike. Three years including a Trans-Provence, Trans-Madeira and approx 9000 km of single track riding including a lot of crashes (as I just don't seem to be able to lose that habit) and despite the scratches the derailleur is shifting as well as it did when I first bought it.
This re-design addresses almost every issue I had with the Eagle rear derailleur (too long, too exposed and set up too finicky) to the point that I might even have to try it.
