I cannot stress enough how much I agree with your sentiment that a Deore ten speed is a sweetspot in Shimano's drivetrain lineup. I currently ride a RaceFace Aeffect with a Deore RD, and the Deore cassette, makes for a pretty cheap and bombproof setup. The only gripe is the riveted cassette, which causes a bit more freehub body scarring than I'd like, so I'll replace that with a SunRace at some point.
That said, doesn't the Deore RD only have capacity for a 42 tooth?
