Although I have preferred shimano since the days of hating grip shift I found GX circa 2011 held up well. But NX and GX from 2018 were pure crap. I find the reasoning that the jump to 52t is okay because it's not that much worse than the (already poor) jump to 50t to be pretty weak. Appreciate the article, more reason to move on to XT 12 speed once my 11 wears out.
