I sprang for the XTR shifter with the XT Der/42t cog. There is still a tiny
amount of float before the actual engagement happens on both paddles, but I've
never found it to annoying or even noticeable until this review pointed it
out. I haven't felt the XT shifter, but the XTR feels super solid. A little
more thumb force is required to engage the paddles than I had expected, but I
don't notice it on the trail.
