As someone who bought an NX-level bike in late January, I'm SOOOOO happy I made that choice when I did, as the bike world is now sold-out. That said, it's my first Sram experience in many many years, and I was sorely disappointed in the NX derailleur (no clutch after a month) and Guide-T brakes (just... Bad). I promptly dropped cake on Saint Brakes and an SLX derailleur, to take care of my issues. Then comes Deore 12spd, and I'm positive I would have been more than satisfied with that spec on my bike instead of the NX crap.
Again, very happy I pulled the trigger because of the industry/global circumstances, but there will be a whole lot of happy campers buying value-heavy bikes in 2021.
